Summary/Abstract: In the group of Central Asian countries, the Republic of Kazakhstan appears to be scientifically best communicated with Europe. Thus it has raised an increasingly strong interest – also on the part of comparative law researchers. The subject matter of this article is an attempt to reform territorial administration and to establish territorial self- government in Kazakhstan. The reforms have not been implemented without any resistance or mistakes, it is important, however, that the need to change and modernize local government structures is discerned. The debate over the constitutional reform of the local political system favors the construction of social awareness of the fact that a clear distinction between the territorial government administration and territorial self- government as well as the latter’s independence, determines the construction of civil society and democratization of social life.
