National-patriotic ideology in contemporary Kazakhstan

Gaziz has been actively involved in national deliberative initiatives. From 2020 to 2023, he was a member of the Senate (Upper Chamber of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan) «Experts’ Club». Since 2022, he has served on the Public Chamber of the Mazhilis (Lower Chamber of Parliament). In 2025, he joined the National Qurultay under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Gaziz Abishev’s current research project examines the design and effectiveness of deliberative platforms operating under both Chambers of Parliament. The study seeks to identify which models of deliberation produce more meaningful outcomes and public value. This question has gained particular significance in light of Kazakhstan’s ongoing constitutional reform, which proposes merging the two Chambers into a single-house legislature. His work aims to provide practical recommendations for designing and implementing deliberative mechanisms within the new unicameral parliamentary system.
