Abstract: After its independence, Kazakhstan has set new national values as guidelines for the reform and reconstruction of administration, economics and society. In the political field, a powerful national leadership with the president at the core and an efficient and active administrative system have been set up. In the economic field, a planned privatization reform has been advocated step by step. In the social field, organizations such as NGOs, NPOs, mass media, parties, ethnic and religious groups have been cultivated and regulated. Up till now, judging from all of the index of international evaluation organizations, its national governance has been making consistent progress in political, economic and social fields. It has been proved that although the institutional design is the main point of constructing a national governance system, paying attention to a country's specific situation, national characters, and the features of the times is also crucial.
