Sažetak
This article examines the relevance of improving local self-government as a crucial element in the development of public administration in Kazakhstan amidst global integration. The study explores the experiences and mechanisms of decentralisation in certain European countries, highlighting valuable insights that can be adapted to Kazakhstan’s local government system. By analysing existing legislation and gaps in the current model, the article proposes measures to address these shortcomings. The successful implementation of Denmark and Germany’s municipal association mechanism is identified as a valuable approach in the context of modern-day Kazakhstan. Additionally, the Finnish experience of an Internet portal for civil initiatives is considered for its potential inclusion in Kazakhstan’s local self-government system. The article emphasizes the importance of citizen engagement to effectively develop the local self-government system. Thus, implementing these improvement strategies through decentralised mechanisms has the potential to significantly transform Kazakhstan's existing local self-government system.
