Building their own development models, many modern progressive states have spent hundreds of years to develop their economies, political and legal systems. Against this background, the progress made by Uzbekistan in just 25 years cannot but impress, or at least draw the interest of the world community. The phenomenon of the ‘Uzbek development model’ has been recognized by experts and analysts of the headmost international financial institutions and research centers. For a historically short period of time the country has not only risen from its knees, but has actively got involved in international economic processes, and boldly entered the high-tech future.
