THE EVOLUTION OF TRADE LAW IN CENTRAL ASIA: HARMONIZING LOCAL REGULATIONS WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

Abstrak:

This  article  explores  the  evolution,  challenges,  and  opportunities  within  the  trade law  frameworks  of  Central  Asian  countries,  focusing  on  harmonizing  regional  policies with  international  standards.  It  shows  the  important  changes  in  trade  policy  after independence,  starting  with  a  historical  review  from  the  Silk  Road  era  to  post-Soviet transformations.  Through  a  study  of  pertinent  literature  and  an  examination  of  national trade laws, the research finds important legal and regulatory issues, such as contradictory legislation  and  enforcement  gaps.  Through  the  incorporation  of  knowledge  from  effective  global models,  such  as  the  WTO  and  UNCITRAL  frameworks,  the  research  highlights  the development, difficulties, and opportunities. A  roadmap  for  greater  economic  integration  and  sustainable  development  is provided  by  the  thesis's  practical  policy  proposals,  which  are  intended  to  bring  Central Asian  trade  legislation  into  line  with  international  standards  while  maintaining  regional sovereignty.
