Abstract
This thesis purports to describe the political and administrative system of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic as it was from 1955 to 1964. The first two sections are concerned mainly with central party and governmental institutions - one with the governmental machinery proper, and the second with formally extra bureaucratic institutions. The relationship between these two parts is discussed. The third section puts some flesh on the institutional skeleton. The political elite of the republic is identified and career patterns of leading personnel are traced; a case study throws light on the policy making process in agriculture; a chapter on industry shows that republican leadership can get out of step when factional struggle is rife at USSR level; finally, an attempt is made to probe the politics of the rapid turnover of top leaders during the decade studied. Since this is the Kazakh Republic an analysis is made of how power is shared between the main national groups before conclusions on the structure of the system are presented.
