Samuel P. Huntington said, ‘It is far more meaningful now to group countries not in terms of their political or economic systems or in terms of their level of economic development but rather in terms of their culture and civilization. What do we mean when we talk of a civilization? A civilization is a cultural entity.’ When the Soviet Union collapsed, fifteen sovereign states suddenly appeared on the geopolitical landscape. None of them were less prepared for independence than the five republics of Central Asia. The people of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan had existed for seven decades in a semi feudal state of suspension. The transformation of identity in Kazakhstan is attached to process of geopolitical situation, migration, globalization and „reappearance” of Islam in the region. The independence of Kazakhstan has brought a new dimension to the cultural and national awareness. However in today’s globalization, people of that region face a certain necessity of belonging to one of the cultural groups, as well as an uncertainty with that matter. When we think about identity and globalization, we consider globalization as a negative factor, which can destroy identities, and make them weaker; however, at the same time, it can enrich and develop them. One of the influences here is the degree of a national identity, which has a certain liaison with cultural identity and globalization. It can have both positive and negative effects. This chapter explores how we should try to focus on unity in diversity, being global citizens, aware of our roots.
