Introducing E-Government in Kazakhstan

Abstract

The concepts of e-democracy and e-government in Kazakhstan have been introduced as innovative technologies for the interaction of state power with civil society institutions. Digital technologies are considered in the light of implementing the principles of cooperation, conscientious fulfillment of the state, and population obligations. Promoting such issues increases public services, helps to create new conditions for ensuring transparency and honesty of the state system, strengthens trust between the parties, promotes further societal democratization, and raises the main aspects of national security. Discussing/sharing experiences, we appeal to scholars in political sciences and state officials, to contribute to the background for justification/implementation of new technologies and ways of cooperation between state authorities and the population. The chapter outlines effective ways of state development to be a competitive subject of international relations able adequately to meet the contemporary challenges, keeping up with the times and puts the interests of the population first.
