On the need to study the characteristics of local government and self government in relation to vulnerable groups in Kazakhstan
The Eurasian Research Centre of Legal and Economic Research has presented to the attention of international organizations the rationale necessity of studying the policies of local government and self government regarding vulnerable groups in Kazakhstan and developing recommendations based on best international and national (local) practices in this area.Currently, there is a lack of understanding of how the rights of vulnerable groups are protected at the local government level. Taking into account the lack of legislative protection at the central level (institutionally and in the legal eld), the study focuses on other regulatory methods.There is a gap in the literature regarding the composition and processes in self government structures and the infiuence of these factors on the decisions and actions of self government bodies and communities. In addition to system analysis and structure review, we use a bottom up approach to describe and analyse processes in local governments that affect the effectiveness and content of decisions regarding the protection of vulnerable groups
