Tuzilmalardir

Tuzilmalardir is a Kazakh term used to refer to institutions or organized bodies within a society. Derived from tuzilma, meaning organization or structure, the plural tuzilmalardir is used to talk about multiple institutions. The concept encompasses a broad range of formal organizations that coordinate activities, enforce rules, or provide services. This includes government agencies such as ministries and courts, educational and research institutions such as schools, universities, and laboratories, financial and economic bodies such as central banks and regulatory authorities, and cultural, religious, professional, and non-governmental organizations.

Common features of tuzilmalardir include a formal structure, defined mandates or functions, a governance framework, and a system of accountability often anchored in law or policy. They typically have established funding, whether public, private, or mixed, and possess authority to make decisions within their scope. The legitimacy of these institutions stems from legal authority, social expectations, and the consent of the governed.

Functions of tuzilmalardir cover policymaking, service delivery, regulation and enforcement, research and innovation, and the preservation of culture and public welfare. They create continuity in governance and public life, coordinate complex activities across sectors, and serve as points of contact between citizens and the state or other sectors.

Tuzilmalardir are distinguished from informal institutions by their formal rules, written procedures, and official status, though informal norms can shape their behavior. See also: institutions, public administration, governance.
