This article presents a theoretical and empirical analysis of the role of social justice criteria in the development of civil society. The methodological framework of the study is based on J. Rawls's theory of justice principles, A. Sen's capability approach, and A. Honneth's recognition theory. The institutional reforms being implemented in New Uzbekistan – including the “Iron Notebook”, “Youth Notebook”, and “Women's Notebook” programs, the modernization of the mahalla institution, and the “Uzbekistan – 2030” strategy – are examined through the lens of social justice criteria. The findings demonstrate that the sustainable development of civil society is directly contingent upon the consistent institutional implementation of social justice principles, as well as the harmonious integration of traditional forms of social capital with contemporary mechanisms of civic participation.
