The analysis of the provided data testifies - the suttsestvenny growth of the main economic indicators on regions of the country was over the last 10 years accompanied by preservation, and even increase in differentiation of regions. So, the gap between the maximum indicator of VRP per capita (Atyrausky area) and minimum (Zhambylsky area) increased from 6,6 times in 1999 to 12,6 times in 2005 and only in recent years began to be reduced and in 2008 made 8,7 times. At the same time the gap between these indicators in Atyrausky and Southern Kazakhstan areas reached 11,7 times [3, page 194]. On an indicator of volume of an industrial output the gap between maximum and minimum values not only increased by a population share, but also changed polarity: at the beginning of the period of reforming (1993) across the Karaganda region it by 20,7 times exceeded an indicator of Kyzylordinsky area, in 1998 - by 7,8 times, and in 2008 - by only 1,1 times. In 2005 leading positions were taken by the Atyrausky area which industrial output by 28,6 times exceeded indicators of the North Kazakhstan area, and in 2008 excess reached 39,1 times. The gap on an indicator of gross output of agriculture per capita remained: if in 1993 the gap between Kostanaysky and Mangistausky areas on this indicator made 26,6 times, in 2008 - 26,5 times [5, page 34].

Economic unevenness of development of regions caused preservation of considerable social differentiation of Kazakhstan. Essential regional distinctions are observed on such indicators, as the monetary income per capita, unemployment rate. So, the difference between maximum (in Mangistausky area) and minimum (in Zhambylsky) the monetary income per capita made 2,8 times. Unemployment rate in is 1,2 times higher than Apmata, than in the Karaganda region.

On extent of diversification of branch structure of the industry regions can be subdivided into three groups:

The first group - monobranch areas (the enterprises of one branch make over 50% of all industrial output of area) - Atyrausky, Aktyubinsk, West Kazakhstan, Kyzylordinsky and Mangistausky. All four areas have large reserves of oil and gas which intensively accustom.

The second group - well diversified areas (all industries are rather evenly presented) - Aktyubinsk, East Kazakhstan, Karaganda, Kostanaysky, Pavlodar. The Karaganda region can pass to the first group as in it ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy start prevailing over development of other industries.

The third group - poorly diversified areas or agrarian and industrial (two-three branches make over 70% of all industrial output) - North Kazakhstan, Akmolinsky, Almaty, Zhambylsky and Southern Kazakhstan. These regions mainly agrarian, processing of agricultural products borrows from 20 to 45% of industrial production. The southern Kazakhstan area gravitates to transition to the first group as the oil-processing industry gradually occupies the increasing share in its industrial production (about 50 %) .

It is separately possible to allocate regions - the development centers (Astana and Almaty).

Thus, despite carrying out market reforms in the field of regional development of Kazakhstan, key problems in this sphere remain:

- high differentiation on level of social and economic development and quality of life of the population between territories with a "raw" and "non-oil" orientation of economy;

- growing gap in a number of regions, including syryedobyvayushchy, in a standard of living of urban and country people; lag of regions on the main indicators of a standard of living from average republican level.

Existence of the important regional problems which were inherited from the previous stage of development and become even more aggravated in new economic and political conditions, demands correction of regional policy of the state and improvement of mechanisms of its realization.

For scientific and institutional ensuring regionalization of social and economic transformations in the republic certain steps were taken. So, in 1996. The resolution of the government of RK approved the first Concept of regional policy, and in December, 2001. (Resolution No. 1598) - the second, modifed Concept of regional policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2002-2006 [9]. Proceeding from need of forecasting of territorial development of the country, in 2000 development of long-term regional programs was resumed, the Scheme of development and placement of productive forces of Kazakhstan till 2015 taking into account features of market ways of managing (The resolution No. 367 of March 7, 2000) is made.

Thanks to the taken measures, and also influence of favorable factors in recent years in the majority of regions of Kazakhstan economy lifting is observed. However the main regional problems aren't solved yet.

Strategy of territorial development of the Republic of Kazakhstan now is developed for the solution of the listed problems till 2015 [10], approved in 2006, assuming transition from policy of alignment of regional distinctions to policy of formation and full state support of "growth poles", capable to become "engine" of lifting of all economy of the territory. As a whole such approach to formation of regional policy corresponds to world tendencies in регионалистике and practice of territorial development.

With restoration of positive dynamics of economic processes by the main task of economic policy of the state there was an ensuring sustained economic growth in each region of the country. In this regard there was a need for development of regional theories for the purpose of justification of new regional policy, sootvststvuyushchy the modern

to realities of the globalization considering specifics of Kazakhstan and its regions, providing rational placement of productive forces, their sustainable development and on this basis improvement of quality of life of the population living in each territory of our country.

Modern regional concepts of economic development in the increasing measure are connected with increase of a role of certain territories in national economy, with change of extent of intervention of the state in economic processes, with new aspects of development of the space, brought NTP (new types of energy, transport, etc.). Changed traditional and there were the new factors of placement connected with expansion of processes of globalization, emergence of new technological ways, development of information and telecommunication networks and technologies, development of production and market infrastructure. Regional development began to be considered not from the point of view of building of physical objects (the enterprises, roads, etc.) in the territory of the country, and from a position of non-material approach. In other words, in the scientific plan and in practical activities of many countries dominating there is the concept of regional development focused on knowledge, innovations.

The judgment of ideas of the President of the country concerning prospects of economic growth in Kazakhstan and its regions in long-term prospect till 2030 became a dominant of new theoretical concepts of regional development in the period of independence in the Kazakhstan regional economic science. Since the end of the 90th years, the twentieth century, in domestic регионалистике essentially new directions of researches which gradually develop in a new regional paradigm began to be looked through. Researches ceased to carry, purely pragmatical character, proving comprehensive regional programs which, since the second half of the 90th years began to develop in each region of Kazakhstan. Again there were actual temporarily forgotten problems of optimum placement of productive forces and rational moving of the population. The new direction of the regional economic theory is recognition of subjectivity of the region or formation of a paradigm of partnership between the center and territories.

According to the Concept of transition of the Republic of Kazakhstan to a sustainable development [11] main goal of the Local program of a sustainable development for Kazakhstan was assistance to the balanced development of regions (areas, the cities, country settlements), minimization of their negative influence on surrounding environment.

As a result at the beginning of the XXI century in Kazakhstan, also, as well as in some republics of the CIS (Russia, Azerbaijan), developed high rates of economic growth - 8-10%. Despite negative influence of a global economic crisis (2007-2009), in the republic in modern conditions positive dynamics of economic growth remains, there are considerable internal reserves for development of regions and carrying out a course on alignment of regional distinctions.

As showed the analysis, in modern researches and program documents of Kazakhstan the increasing emphasis is placed on dot approach in regional economy. The President of RK N.A.Nazarbayev aims at this approach in the Message to the country people also, emphasizing need to begin formation of the centers of economic growth in the West, in the center, in the north, the South and the country East.

The theory of the polarized development partially already received realization in Strategy of territorial development of the Republic of Kazakhstan till 2015. Its difference from earlier existing program documents is the reference point on formation of "growth points" or the principle of the polarized development assuming realization of the following priorities:

- formation of the rational economic organization of territories of the country and improvement of their specialization for the purpose of competitiveness increase on the basis of mechanisms of cluster development;

- change of system of moving of the population and concentration economic and a manpower in zones of the advancing growth with climatic conditions favorable for activity;

- improvement of infrastructure providing territories;

- formation of economic space of Kazakhstan as Central Asian trade and economic and service and technological center and its effective integration with world economic system.

In Kazakhstan as the centers of growth develop, first of all, regions where there is an optimum environment for increase of innovative activity, in particular are available the manufacturing industry enterprises as potentially the most active innovators, the market infrastructure, financial sector and sector of services is developed. In this regard the best prospects have first of all of Almaty and Astana, and also a number of the old industrial centers (Karaganda, Petropavlovsk, Pavlodar, Ust Kamenogorsk, Uraljsk).

At realization of strategy of support of "growth points" in our country taking measures who will allow to provide minimum acceptable standard of living and volume of the state services in the poorest regions is possible. In Kazakhstan it is such regions, as Zhambylsky Southern Kazakhstan and North Kazakhstan areas. Thus the purpose of new approach in the regional policy in the conditions of economic growth has to consist not so much in alignment of level of economic development of regions as it became at the Soviet planning, and in ensuring welfare of the population and poverty reduction in all territory of the country.

Thus, in new conditions of post-crisis development of Independent Kazakhstan expediently formation and implementation of "new regional policy", being characterized the following distinctive features.

First, transfer of accent from the state, gratuitous subsidies for support of the decentralized initiatives at the level of local authorities and self-government. Such policy of justified and yielded positive result, for example, in Italy, China.

Secondly, stimulation and support of growth in the poorest regions that found reflection in the active regional policy of Brazil which had effect in rather poor northeast regions of the country.

Thirdly application of the integrated approach providing use of competitive advantages of the region and the country and assistance to development regional "growth points". At such approach it is greatest attention it is paid to investments into innovations and the scientific and technical sphere, into the human capital as such investments give the greatest return.

Fourthly, now in the conditions of globalization of world economy rather broad approach to structure of productive forces where, along with traditional economic indicators, new elements, such as information, organizational and a geographical position are included gained distribution.

The advantageous geographical position of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the center of the Evraziisky continent allows it to be the international transport corridor, and use of territorial advantage at sufficient development of transport infrastructure can play a significant role in formation of effective structure of economy of the country.

The listed approaches to implementation of regional policy are directed on modernization of economy of regions, economic growth, creation of conditions for social development and ensuring ecological safety.
