Modern Central Asia in the Region Building Stage

Abstract

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and independence by the Central Asian countries, each of the
countries has chosen its own individual development path and model for building relationships with the world
community and with the states of the region (CA). This issue is particularly relevant in the context of major changes caused by the improvement of relations between the countries of the region, the change and transit
of power in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan (peacefully without war and revolution). Dramatic changes occurred
in foreign and domestic policy in Uzbekistan with the advent of Shavkat Mirziyoyev and the implementation
of very serious and large-scale reforms in the country, which led to the rapprochement and improvement of
relations between Uzbekistan and all countries of the region in a very short period.
The article discusses the initiatives of regional unification by the countries of Central Asia and their measures
taken along this path, as well as the role of regional actors and their alternative projects for the countries of the
region.
