THE CONCEPT OF A “LISTENING STATE TO THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE” : MECHANISMS FOR ESTABLISHING DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE STATE AND SOCIETY

Abstract

In the modern conditions of the development of Kazakhstan's statehood, democracy is the most important constitutional value, and the main component of the legal reform was the adoption of the concept of a "Hearing State". The development of the hearing state is directly related to the activity of civil society, its participation in the process of making significant decisions. The relevance of this study is determined by the importance and role of the hearing state in the lives of citizens, the presence of voluminous normative material, the special novelty of the very formulation "hearing state" in constitutional and legal science. A large number of sources on the issues of the hearing state were analyzed, extensive work was carried out to search for source materials, and it was concluded that at the moment there are no studies on the formation and development of the hearing state in Kazakhstan. The methodological basis of this work is the empirical method of obtaining knowledge and the method of comparative jurisprudence. Thus, we have come to the conclusion that the category of "hearing state" has not been developed in constitutional and legal science. The theoretical development of this concept is necessary for a deep understanding of the patterns of development of the hearing state, the development of scientifically sound recommendations for the formation of a model of the state enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
