Abstract:
The article examines and analyzes the process of the formation and development of the public administration system in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Attention is paid to the period after Kazakhstan declared its independence and the Republic’s secession from the USSR in 1991. The article provides a detailed analysis of the three stages of administrative reform aimed at the formation of a modern system of public administration in Kazakhstan; the work also contains a detailed description of the regulatory documents adopted at each stage. The system of training and education of civil servants in the Republic of Kazakhstan is described in detail; the main element is universities, which are the foundation in the system of training civil servants. The system of civil service and civil service personnel training is shown in the context of the socio-economic and political transformations of the Republic, its fundamental legislative acts and regulations, decisions of the country’s authorities, strategies, and state programs. The authors emphasize the close interconnection between the civil service and civil service personnel training system with the state policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan as an integral and most important part of the state. At the beginning of the article, there is a comparative analysis of the socio-economic development of Kazakhstan, based on information from the official international indices of economic and social development.
