COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION: UZBEKISTAN, THE UNITED STATES, AND THE EUROPEAN UNION IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE
Abstract
Uzbekistan's emergence as a potential regional hub for international commercial arbitration is one of the more consequential legal developments in Central Asia in recent years. The establishment of the Tashkent International Arbitration Centre in 2018 and the enactment of a fully UNCITRAL Model Law-compliant International Commercial Arbitration Law in 2021 represent genuine legislative achievements. This article sets Uzbekistan's developing system against the frameworks of the United States and the European Union, asking not just how the three compare on paper, but where they differ in practice, where Uzbekistan has real strengths, and where it still carries the vulnerabilities of youth. The assessment is frank: the legislation is modern and credible; the institutional track record is not yet.
