Globalism is a neoliberally influenced focus on world markets and the knowledge economy particularly from the perspective of transnational economic entities. Nationalism concentrates on promoting the country as an entity distinct and special among other countries. When combined, as in Kazakhstan’s case, the two perspectives constitute a paradox. This paper explores Kazakhstan’s paradoxical strategy of using success globally to enhance regard nationally. The roles of language and higher education are discussed in pursuing this strategy. The commentary extends a previous qualitative study of the speeches and strategic plans of Nursultan Nazarbayev, Kazakhstan’s primary post-Soviet architect and President, from Kazakhstan’s independence in 1991 to Nazarbayev’s stepping down in 2019. Current events in the region, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, are included in the discussion.

哈萨克斯坦的民族主义全球主义：悖论、语言和高等教育

全球主义是受新自由主义影响的对世界市场和知识经济的关注，特别是从跨国经济实体的角度来看。民族主义的重点是促进国家成为一个在其他国家中独特而特殊的实体。当这两种观点结合起来时，就像哈萨克斯坦的例子一样，就构成了一个悖论。本文探讨了哈萨克斯坦利用全球成功来提高国内声誉的矛盾战略。讨论了语言和高等教育在实施这一战略中的作用。该评论延伸了之前对哈萨克斯坦主要后苏联建筑师和总统努尔苏丹·纳扎尔巴耶夫 (Nursultan Nazarbayev) 的演讲和战略计划的定性研究，从 1991 年哈萨克斯坦独立到 2019 年纳扎尔巴耶夫下台。乌克兰，也被纳入讨论范围。
