ANNOTATION
   to the dissertation work of the doctoral student of the Academy of Public

       Administration under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan
 Sadvokassov Asset Bagdatovich on the topic В«Transformation of rulemaking
in public administrationВ», submitted for a doctorate degree in the educational

                     program «8D04113 – Public Administration»

       The relevance of the problem. The issues of improving rulemaking in the
Republic of Kazakhstan are constantly in the focus of attention of the state, society
and scientific circles. Over the years of independence, our country has
implemented three long-term policy documents in the field of development of
national legislation - the State Program of Legal Reform and two concepts of legal
policy.

       In order to implement these strategic documents, a special act regulating
rulemaking was adopted in 1998 – the Law «On Normative Legal Acts». As social
relations became more complicated and the foundations of public administration
were modernized, it was replaced by the Law В«On Legal ActsВ». Program
documents and laws defined the system of legislation, delimited the status of legal
acts, and also formed the basis for the progressive development of the rule-making
process as one of the elements of public administration.

       At the same time, continuous socio-economic transformations in society
impose new requirements on the quality of normative legal acts and norm-making
in general. Taking into account some inconsistency of all the processes taking
place in society, we can say that fair and expedient NLA can be developed only
through the application of efforts, coordinated work and interaction of all subjects
of economic, political, social and other relations. We are talking about government
agencies, non-governmental organizations and other communities of people.

       The constant transformation of individual spheres, the transformation of
aspects of public relations in the country is a factor that determines the need to
develop high–quality NLA. This becomes the reason for the need to analyze the
essence, content and features of such a process as rulemaking. The development of
legal norms presupposes an understanding of the role and place, the significance of
rulemaking, which is one of the activities of the state. Understanding of
rulemaking and its comprehension under the prism of modern economic, political,
and social conditions is a guarantee of the implementation of qualitatively new
theoretical research, as well as a guarantee of the development of a variety of tools
that contribute to increasing the level of efficiency of responsible structures for the
development of legal norms.

       Rulemaking is a rather complex process, it includes such stages as initiation,
development, coordination, discussion, examination, approval, as well as
publication of the NLA. Each of these stages is a multifaceted and complex
process that requires attention, literacy and analysis, which provides a high–quality
product - a regulatory legal act.
