Цель исследования. Целью данной статьи является исследование обоснованности экономических теорий конфликта для объяснения коренных причин межобщинных столкновений в Казахстане.

Методология

Методология. Такой теоретический обзор и качественный методологический подход дают более детальную картину и представляют собой начальный шаг в разработке стратегии деэскалации с учетом локального контекста.

Оригинальность / ценность исследования. Благодаря углубленному изучению Кордайского конфликта в 2020 году наша статья опровергает исследования, которые объясняют корни межобщинного конфликта сохранившимся советским наследием и языковой политикой. В этой литературе поводы для недовольства общин объясняются политикой идентичности и/или нарушением коллективных прав, и воспринимаются как нечто само собой разумеющееся. Они концентрируются на дискурсе. Вместо этого, в этой статье исследуется применимость экономических теорий «жадности» и «относительной депривации» в контексте конфликтов в Казахстане.

Результаты исследования

Результаты исследования. Используя результаты наших полевых исследований в Кордае, поддержанных исследовательским проектом Министерства науки и высшего образования Республики Казахстан, мы показываем, что экономические теории «жадности» объясняют хищнический контекст на локальном уровне, а теория «относительной депривации» отражает восприятие местного населения. Сочетание этих двух условий создало благодатную почву для коллективного недовольства и послужило первопричиной конфликтов.

Purpose of the research

Purpose of the research. This article aims to explore the validity of economic theories of conflict in explaining the root causes of intercommunal conflicts in Kazakhstan.

Methodology

Methodology. Such theoretical overview and qualitative methodological approach offer a more nuanced picture and constitutes an initial step in tailoring context-specific de-escalation strategies.

Originality / value of the research. Through in-depth case study of Korday clashes in 2020, it challenges scholars who have attributed the roots of intercommunal conflict to lingering Soviet legacy and language politics. This literature takes communal grievances that attribute conflict to identity politics and/or rights for granted. They concentrate on discourse and take complaints at face value. Instead, this article explores applicability of the economic theories of «greed» and «relative deprivation» in conflict contexts.

Findings

Findings. By using results of our fieldwork supported by research project of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, we show that «greed» hypothesis explains the predatory context on the local level, while the relative deprivation theory explains the perceptions of local population. The combination of these two conditions provided fertile ground for the collective grievances and served as the primary causes of conflict.
