In the paper, the rapid economic growth due to expanding oil production in Kazakhstan at the turn of the twentieth century is discussed in the context of social polarization and growing disparities. Causes of the weakness of social cohesion are elaborated related to privatization, corruption, ethnic tensions and clan relationships. The issue is exemplified by access to higher education, the property market and state jobs.

W niniejszym artykule omówiono gwałtowny wzrost gospodarczy wynikający z rozwijającej się produkcji ropy naftowej w Kazachstanie na przełomie dwudziestego wieku w kontekście polaryzacji społecznej oraz powiększających się rozwarstwień. Przyczyny nadwątlonej spójności społecznej przedstawiono w odniesieniu do prywatyzacji, korupcji, napięć etnicznych oraz związków klanowych.
