The
formation of the party system in Kazakhstan.
In Kazakhstan, the political
modernization began to carry out
through the reform of the whole
political system of society. The political parties are the main
institution of the political system as well as the state.
The meaning and role of political
parties is determined not only by their place in the political system, but also
by the role of parties in the development of civil society. The degree of
democracy of all structures of social development is measured by Maturity of
the civil society.
Significance and essence of political parties are disclosed by its
performed functions:
- Providing a link between
rulers and the ruled;
- Accumulation of diverse and
disparate interests, preferences, requirements of the various layers and
groups in society;
- Setting collective goals for
the whole society;
- Recruitment for the party
and for the organizations that are included in the political system, including
the nomination of candidates for representative bodies, and the Executive
Office bureaucracy;
-Acting as the reference group
(communication group) for their supporters.
Thus,
the political parties are the highest level of civil society because they
perform the function of political socialization. Exactly political parties
express political interests of individual layers, groups and the whole society,
depending on their goals and objectives.
The question of
formation of the party system in our country should be highlighted, because its
structure determines the character of the interaction of all political parties
not only among themselves but the order of the device of representative and
other authorities of the state.
The
party building had some difficulties:
- The absence of other parties except the Communist
Party;
- The need for state initiatives, ie the creation of
parties from the top;
- The lack of movement from the bottom in the creation
of parties;
- Low political activity of the masses and the lack of
experience of political activity in the general population;
- The need for a more rapid pace of party building
when in developed countries, modern political parties were formed over the
centuries.
Thus, it was
necessary to use the experience of other countries, taking into account the
specific - historical conditions of development of Kazakhstan, without blind
imitation.
During the
democratization of political society, some changes have taken place in the
transformation of the party system in Kazakhstan. Over the years, a multi-party
system was formed, as the most suitable for the democratic development of our
country.
At present, the political parties are the main
tool of the relationship between the state and civil society. As well as the
state, political parties form the basis of the political system of society,
they are a tool for civil society participation in the implementation of state power and control
over the efficient functioning of the state apparatus. Currently, the state
developed a legislative and regulatory framework for the elections and
activities of political parties of various types, which fully comply with the
norms of a democratic state.
Formation of a
multi-party system should be aimed at strengthening of Kazakhstan the promotion
for approval as "democratic, secular, legal and social state whose highest
values are an individual, his life, rights and freedom."
The basic
requirements of the party system are: a guarantee of national sovereignty,
respect for human rights and freedoms, and multiparty system, which is a form
of realization of political pluralism in society and consideration of public
opinion of the all social groups and communities.
.
The system should provide honest expression of the point of views of different
parties. Activities of the parties should be public and transparent to the
public.
The
formation of a multiparty system in Kazakhstan society, pluralism and conflict
of opinion gave rise to many legitimate processes revaluation of values.
Eventually, they led to the apparent transformation of the basic foundations of
both public and political system as a whole.
The political system of society was actually created anew and its main
institutes began to work on – new, taking into account experience of the modern
countries.
When the political culture is at a development stage,
it is necessary to perceive correctly the political competition as the
competition of ideas about increase of welfare of the people and effective use
of natural resources of the country.
"Nur
Otan" - the first political party that considered seriously the
problem of training and education of
party workers by innovative methods of party management.
At present, the People - Democratic
Party "Nur Otan" actually constitutes the core of the whole party
system of Kazakhstan. It is based on the ideals of democracy, pluralism,
openness and represents all social strata.
Thus, the dominant position of
political party "Nur Otan" is justified by the whole course of socio
- political development of Kazakhstan society, so how the People - Democratic
Party "Nur Otan" is ready to take an active part in the modernization
of the country and in the formation of competitive state and prosperous nation.
