THE PARTY SYSTEM AS AN ELEMENT OF POLITICAL MODERNIZATION OF KAZAKHSTAN
Keywords:
party, the party system of Kazakhstan, modernization, identity, transformation of the political system, the state.Abstract
Today, sovereign Kazakhstan is steadily moving towards consistent modernization, higher competitiveness in the globalized world, and postindustrial development. Its political party system can be described as a political institution that ensures the country’s stability and sustainability. A multi-party system and pluralism that should be developed and consolidated are the two indispensable elements of democratization. Despite their fundamental transformations, political parties and political systems have not disappeared from the stage—they have merely moved to qualitatively new positions. At each new stage of social and political transformation, political parties undergo radical changes; the same fully applies to the party system in its quantitative and qualitative dimensions. Political parties of Kazakhstan have traveled the road from Proto parties to industrialized entities to self-organizing mechanisms of the political elites. In order to clarify the prospects and the key trends of the country’s political modernization, we should identify the specifics of Kazakhstan’s party system and the nature of its impact on the state and civil society.
