Abstract
Aim. To analyze the civil component in the political identity of modern Kazakhstan.
Methodology. The civil ("Kazakh") and ethnic ("Kazakh") models of the formation of the political identity of the Republic of Kazakhstan are analyzed. The main approaches were constructivism and a systematic approach, which were used in relation to the analysis of political practice of modern Kazakhstan. The method of political modeling was also used.
Results. The study revealed that in the process of constructing civil identity in Kazakhstan, a national myth is being created that employs several universal historical and political imperatives: the assertion of the the people and the Kazakh statehood’ antiquity, the imperative of the "age-old traditions" of the people, spiritual colonialism, and autarky. In the course of the study, the problems of the formation of a civil Kazakh nation were identified: the substitution of certain national components with ethnic and national ones).
Research implications. The results of the study can be used both in the comparative analysis of the nation-building processes and the construction of political identity in other countries of the former USSR, as well as in predictive research regarding the political development of Kazakhstan.
