Kazakhstan has appeared on the map of the world after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991. Kazakhstan had entered into a transition phase after getting independence. Kazakhstan has made significant progress in implementing political and socioeconomic reforms and redefining the role of the state in the modern period during the last three decades. The process began with the Declaration on State Sovereignty and the Law “On State Independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan” (1991), which established the path towards establishing a democratic, secular, legal state with a market economy. Since the democratic process is altogether new to Kazakhstan, democracy cannot be established in one or two decades. It takes centuries to evolve in a proper manner, as it has evolved in the west. In Kazakhstan, if we see into the history, there was no history of democratic culture. In Kazakhstan, democratic institutions are weak and still in evolving stage. Gradually it will take time to develop political and administrative culture in Kazakhstan.
