Modernızatıon Of The Executıve Authorıty In Uzbekıstan In The Fırst Years Of Independence

Abstract

Towards the end of the 20th century, the newly independent states that had gained their independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union faced various political, economic and institutional challenges related to their transformation into independent nation-states. Creating a basic basis for independent governance of these states was one of the main challenges during this period, especially in terms of reorganizing the executive branch in accordance with the new circumstances. The people of Uzbekistan continue to be strategically located in the Central Asian region, which has led the country to undertake extensive changes in its way of functioning and self-governance since gaining independence from the Soviet Union in 1991

Uzbekistan experienced a crucial period in terms of maintaining political stability and developing the sovereignty of its people in the first years after independence. The centralized bureaucracy of the Soviet model had a changing political landscape and needed new reforms. The executive branch was the main focus of reforms due to its role in the functioning of the state, the implementation of state decisions and the management of the government. The executive branch was modernized with a strong presidential system. This was also the main strategy for unifying the executive system and creating a single mechanism for their management. The powers of ministries, government committees, and local government bodies were reorganized; the legislative framework in governance developed more rapidly and a regulatory system began to be adopted. At the same time, the powers of the central government at the local level were increased with the institution of judges in regional governance.
