Abstract

In the first years after the collapse of the USSR, the government of the Republic of Kazakhstan sought to implement in its country the mechanisms characteristic of a market type of economy. At the beginning of the formation of the state, own resources for such a transformation were not enough. The government of the republic counted on foreign assistance, including from the nominal world leader of that time - the United States. The main state body of the United States capable of assisting and promoting the economic development of the Republic of Kazakhstan was the US Congress. However, American lawmakers, although aware of the importance of this undertaking, treated this issue peculiarly. Assisting to Kazakhstan, they pursued their interests and did not allocate significant amounts from the federal budget. The purpose of this work is to identify the priorities of congressional representatives in the issue of promoting the economic development of Kazakhstan in the 1990s. Because of the study, it was concluded that for congressional representatives a sufficient level of economic development of the Central Asian republic was a level capable of ensuring its existence as an independent state. Washington also did not miss the opportunity to get the most benefits from the process of Kazakhstan's transition to capitalism.
