Based on this recognition, Korea’s Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP) was launched in 2004 by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance (MOSF) and the Korea Development Institute (KDI). KSP aims to share Korea’s experience and knowledge with the partner countries to achieve mutual prosperity and cooperative partnership. Former high-ranking government officials are directly involved in the policy consultation to share their intimate knowledge of development challenges, and to complement the analytical work of policy experts and specialists who have extensive experience in their fields. The government officials and practitioners effectively pair up with their counterparts in the development partner countries to work jointly on pressing policy challenges and share development knowledge in the process. The program includes policy research, consultation and capacity-building activities, all in all to provide comprehensive and tailor-made assistance to the development partner countries in building a stable foundation and fostering capabilities to pursue self-sustainable growth. In 2015, policy consultation and capacity building workshop were carried out with 26 partner countries covering over 100 research agendas. As a new partner, Nicaragua and Visegrad Group were selected in consideration of the country’s policy demand, growth potential, and strategic economic partnership. The 2015/16 Knowledge Sharing Program with Uzbekistan was carried out with the aim of exchanging socio-economic development experience of two countries for improving Uzbekistan’s policy making capacity and achieving her socio-economic development. Under the active cooperation between two nations, the joint research and seminars were conducted in order to support the establishment of “Supporting Uzbekistan’s Development Strategy in Key Policy Areas: Special Economic Zone, Industrial Development, Public Budgeting and Postgraduate Education”. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Senior Advisor Mr. Bong-Kyun Kang, Project Manager and Executive Director of CID Siwook Lee, as well as the project consultants including Prof. Changik Jo, Prof. Jong Il Kim, and Prof. Seul Ki Choi for their immense efforts in successfully completing the 2015/16 KSP with Uzbekistan. I am also grateful to Executive Director Dr. Siwook Lee, and Program Officer Ms. Nu Ri Leem, and all members of the Center for International Development, KDI for their hard work and dedication to this program. Lastly, I extend my warmest thanks to the Uzbekistan counterparts, the Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations, Investment and Trade, Ministry of Finance and Institute of Forecasting and Macroeconomic Research, program coordinators, and participants for showing active cooperation and great support. In your hands is the publication of the results of the 2015/16 KSP with Uzbekistan. I believe that KSP will serve as a valuable opportunity to further elevate mutual economic cooperation of Uzbekistan and Korea to a new level. I sincerely hope the final research results on the selected areas could be fully utilized to support Uzbekistan in achieving economic development goal in the near future.

  • Causes and Consequences of the Division of the Territory of Uzbekistan Into Economic Regions (On the Example of 20-70S of the Xx Century)
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 07, 2020 Causes And Consequences Of The Division Of The Territory Of Uzbekistan Into Economic Regions (On The Example Of 20-70s Of The Xx Century) Murodilla Khaydarov1, Ruzimat Juraev2, Izzatilla Khaydarov3, Hasan Babajanov4, Fakhriddin Abdulboqiyev5, Otabek Alimardonov6 1Professor, DSc, Department of Uzbekistan History, Faculty of History, National University of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Uzbekistan. 2Professor, DSc, Faculty of History, Doctor of Political Sciences, Namangan State University, Uzbekistan. 3Doctor of Philosophy, Associate Professor, Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies, Uzbekistan. 4Doctor of Philosophy, Associate Professor, Tashkent Information Technologies named after Muhammad al-Khwarizmi, Tashkent, Uzbekistan 5Doctoral Student, Department of Uzbekistan History, Faculty of History, National University of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Uzbekistan. 6Doctoral Student, Department of Uzbekistan History, Faculty of History, National University of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Abstract: This article describes the reasons for the division of the territory of Uzbekistan into economic zones and the consequences of these reasons. And also in this article the example of the 20-70s of the XX century is given. The study of the processes of development of society in the modern history of Uzbekistan makes it possible to clearly identify a number of important contradictions that legally led to a crisis. These contradictions are based on the discrepancy between the level of development of productive forces and the nature of existing production relations, which has deepened over time. During the formation and development of a single economic complex of the Soviet Union, the real interests, special conditions and opportunities of Uzbekistan were ignored in Soviet times, when the policy of the Soviet government was a very centralized and command- oriented, monopoly system of the Communist Party.

    Comparative Analysis of e-Commerce Between China and Uzbekistan. Kaypnazarov Ubbiniyaz;Prof. Zhang Diping Abstract This research work is devoted for the purpose of showing the diverse opportunities and unravel the growing trends of e-Commerce in terms of trade between China and Uzbekistan. On-line customer research has been carried out mainly for American and European markets by academics and marketers. While e-Commerce is developing more rapidly in China with big companies raking in billions, it is somehow slow in Uzbekistan; a profound understanding of necessitating modalities is a fundamental drive into promoting further growth. This work investigates this intriguing concept in context of e-Commerce involved in inquiring about e-Business and corresponding e-Payment systems in China and Uzbekistan respectively. The article features theoretical segments through which statistical models and correlations were interpolated. The main aim being to establish segmental information and identify influential factors of e-Shopping using e-Payment models developed in the respective countries. The key findings include the geographical influence, demographic statistical analysis and internet technologies being used in the two countries.

E-mail: sh- [email protected], +998935372706 Received: 22.04.2020 Revised: 24.05.2020 Accepted: 19.06.2020 Summary. The experience of practical implementation of structural changes in the economy and social sphere gradually implemented in modern Uzbekistan shows that the main trends in the development of the previous (Soviet) stage of socio-economic development significantly influenced the development of the strategy of its own model of reforms. The Soviet model of modernization (the so-called conservative model [1]) implemented in Uzbekistan, largely built to please the Russian Center, caused the main contradictions and shortcomings that had accumulated in the Republic by the early 1990s. The proposed article is an attempt to briefly outline the socio-economic problems of Uzbekistan at the turn of the 80-90 - ies of the XX century. It was at this time that the permanent crisis of Soviet society reached its critical point, and the shortcomings of command and administrative management methods were fully revealed at all levels. The arbitrary practice of building a fundamentally new state based on egalitarian principles and utopian ideas, which had no analogues in history, revealed the inability of the Soviet model of development to function effectively at almost all stages of its development.

  • Social Protection System Review of Kyrgyzstan
    OECD Development Pathways Social Protection System Review of Kyrgyzstan OECD Development Pathways OECD Development Pathways Social Protection System Review of Kyrgyzstan Social protection is at the heart of Kyrgyzstan’s development and is a priority of public policy. Pension coverage among today’s elderly is universal and a large number of contributory and non-contributory OECD Development Pathways programmes are in place to cover a wide range of risks. Kyrgyzstan has succeeded in maintaining the entitlements dating from the Soviet era while introducing programmes appropriate for its transition to a market economy. However, severe fi scal constraints have limited the coverage of these new arrangements and their capacity to adapt to challenges such as poverty, pervasive informality and emigration. Social Protection System The Social Protection System Review of Kyrgyzstan comes at a time when imbalances and fragmentation of social protection provision are undermining its impact and jeopardising its long-term sustainability. This Review of Kyrgyzstan Review proposes a systemic approach to addressing these challenges consistent with the Government of Kyrgyzstan’s own commitment to developing a coherent and extensive social protection system. It examines the current and future challenges facing Kyrgyzstan and analyses the capacity of existing social protection programmes to confront them. It also analyses the fi nancing of social protection and the sector’s current institutional framework. Finally, it proposes specifi c policies for establishing a social protection system and Social Protection System Review of Kyrgyzstan optimising the design of its component programmes. 00 Consult this publication on line at http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264302273-en This work is published on the OECD iLibrary, which gathers all OECD books, periodicals and statistical databases.

  • Systematic Transformation Reforms in Uzbekistan and Economic
    The Mongolian Journal of International Affairs Number 5, 1998 SYSTEMATIC TRANSFORMATION REFORMS IN UZBEKISTAN AND ECONOMIC Bakhtior Islamov l. Approach of Uzbekistan to Systematic Transformation From the first day of Independence Uzbek people and its government looked for the model of gradual transition to socially-oriented market economy with a strong democratic state and open peaceful policy. Taking into account the experience of other nations and on the basis of thorough analysis of the peculiarities of its social, economic and human devel- opment, with specific historical background, Uzbekistan has chosen its own approach to a systematic transformation. The five principles of its strategy were formulated by President Islam Karimov very soon after independence were as follows: l. The State is the main power driving economic and political reforms; 2. Economics takes priority over politics, with de-decolonization of both domestic and foreign economic relations; 3. Rule of law and order based on a new legal framework; 4. Social protection, especially the most vulnerable groups of people; 5. Step-by-step approach to systematic transformation.1 The state was not only proclaimed, but has become within this period the main power behind political and economic reforms on the basis of gradualist approach and strategy of transition to the socially oriented market economy. The common sense of the people of Uzbekistan could be expressed as “do not destroy the old house before building a new one”, and they generally supported such strategy. Within all period of independent development special emphasis was made on the principles of gradualism and social protection of the population.
