The effectiveness of special economic zones (hereinafter as SEZ) drives the future perspectives of any country in the world in terms of investment and export. The paper analyzes the public administration of the Republic of Kazakhstan in terms of development of regions. More specifically, the study examines SEZ as an innovative tool of administration and development which impacts Kazakhstans economic transformation, investments into the country and development of new working places in regions. The examination of the existing 13 SEZ includes the period from 2002 to 2022. By concentrating primarily on the effectiveness of SEZ, performance of the SEZ was assessed by secondary data analysis from open sources, data from official sources from Industrial development committee of the Ministry of Industry and infrastructural development of Kazakhstan and JSC “Qazindustry”. It can be concluded that special economic zones are used in Kazakhstan as an innovative tool of public administration for regional development by presenting fast and effective ways of growth, providing incentives and privileges. Even though there is an overall positive trend in effectiveness of SEZ, there were some SEZ that did not show optimal outcomes and it can show the level of regional public administration and the will of local managers.
