After early parliamentary election in March, 2016, the party system of Kazakhstan began to develop under new conditions. Last election for Majilis allowed: to form multiparty parliament officially; to withdraw radical opposition from the format of legitimized public policy; to reform and rejuvenate the deputy corps of Majilis. At the same time, the election did not resolve several key issues of public policy: parliamentary representation does not have all intraelite groups and this reduces the significance of public policy sector in general; pro-government party-outsiders continue to exist in a vague format; criticism of international organizations regarding the compliance of electoral process to democratic standards is not withdrawn.

The current level of social tension in Kazakhstan can be characterized as moderate; however there are latent forms of conflicts in social sector, some of them began to develop gradually into spontaneous protest actions. So far actions of small scale, with mainly economic requirements only, are registered. Sharp devaluation of national currency in the second half of the year 2015 created a negative social and economic background for political processes in 2016. In case of further deterioration of an economic situation the number of protests of vulnerable social groups of the population can increase.

An important component in the process of creating an efficient market economy and democratic society is a dialogue among the government, business and civil society. Current global trends show a growing contribution of business to solving problems of sustainable economic development. In Kazakhstan, the practice of business participation in the development of society is poorly defined. The stage of development of corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be identified as a start.

One of the most important directions of state policy in Kazakhstan is providing favorable conditions for development of civil society institutes. The question of state cooperation with nongovernmental organizations is becoming more and more important in the context of the current political events in the country.  Today in Kazakhstan there is a necessary balance of factors and conditions for formation of professional non-governmental sector.
