	With Kazakh's Visit, Bush Priorities Clash
		Nazarbayev's upcoming visit, according to analysts and officials, offers a case study in the competing priorities of the Bush administration at a time when the president has vowed to fight for democracy and against corruption around the globe.
		Nazarbayev, 66, a blast-furnace operator-turned-Communist functionary, has led Kazakhstan since 1990, when it was part of the Soviet Union, and has since won a series of tainted elections.
		Nazarbayev visited the Bush White House in 2001 -- before the Justice Department filed a case in 2003 alleging that he had taken bribes and before the president issued a 2004 proclamation banning corrupt foreign officials from visiting the United States.

	Global Insight // Same-Day Analysis
		Nazarbayev may be willing to implement a number of reforms in the short term, but the pace of political reform and cadre change will remain, at the very best, leisurely.
		Indeed, so assured was Nazarbayev of victory, that midway through the election campaign he had begun to urge the authorities in the regions to refrain from their attacks on the opposition, preferring to woo the electorate by focusing on the stability that his stewardship of the country has brought the country.
		While Nazarbayev has essentially rejected the notion that economic development and liberalisation must run parallel with the pursuance of democracy, there is nothing to suggest that he is against implementing gradual political reform and accelerating the pace of cadre change when economic conditions dictate confronting endemic corruption.
