Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper examines the bilateral relations between Kazakhstan and the EU. The authors state that Kazakhstan's continuing socio-economic and political stability is a formal commitment to the political one. The paper evaluates to what degree Kazakh- EU cooperation on regional cooperation, security and energy matters is compatible with EU expectations on Central Asian democratization and political reforms.
