The purpose of this study is to examine the current aspects
of former Soviet society modernization in the context of global
challenges of the 21st century. The study uses Kazakhstan as an
example. The primary focus of this paper is on the comparative
analysis of the global dynamics of economic development trends
regarding OECD and Kazakhstan. The study’s methodology entails
a historiographical analysis of recent works on modernization issues
in contemporary societies. Modernization is seen as a part of the
complicated process of the world becoming more global as the
capitalist system changes. Modernization phenomena are analyzed
quantitatively and phenomenologically within the framework of the
research methodology. The study used a combination of quantitative
and qualitative methods to analyze statistical data on economic
development in Kazakhstan. The applied quantitative analysis
techniques constructed a regression model of modernization
prospects based on the factor of labour productivity and gross
savings. Qualitative interpretations in this study were based on
phenomenological and analytical approaches in the philosophical
sciences. This study focused on a new theory of modernization that
views it from the perspective of social acceleration and the pursuit
of sustainability in the protection of traditional spirituality within
the context of modernization. In practice, this model enables the
exploration of various modernization trajectories. It will be useful
in the creation of the corresponding state development programmes
of Kazakhstan. In this way, the spiritual modernization of society
will help build a work ethic, an economy based on knowledge and
innovation, a social consensus, and a space where people from
different backgrounds can live together.
