Abstract

The integration of digital technologies in the field public and political sphere has become one of the important tendencies in global practice. The use of digital technologies in the political process creates an opportunity to reduce document turnover within the apparatus and simplifies the system of the state apparatus. Such concepts as automation of labor, robotics, artificial intelligence, large databases of data, 3D printing, blockchain, freedom of speech in the digital world not only give a new impetus to the national economic progress but also increase its innovative potential. The implementation of digital technologies in public administration is not just a transition of the process into "remote form", but also it is about digital management of large data, the receipt of large volumes of information, or so-called "digital migration".                           In Kazakhstan, think tanks and politicians in the last two decades have been studying and actively discussing the integration of digital technologies and innovations in the field of public administration. In this article, the author at first makes extensive scientific literature on the studies of the impact of the process of digitization on political institutions and public administration, as well as identifies the main scientific paradigms within the sphere. Second, the authors analyze the impact of the digitization process on the functioning of public and political institutions, as well as the role of the digitization process in the formation of democratic institutions. Finally, the authors study the impact of the digitalization process on the political institutions in the case of Kazakhstan.
