Rakhmatulla Ibragimovich Nurimbetov , Nizomiddin Bahromovich Rajabboyev ,Abstract
This paper explores the critical role that international organizations play in shaping political reforms, with a specific focus on Uzbekistan. By analyzing the engagement of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the United Nations (UN), this study investigates how external institutions contribute to institutional transformation, policy design, and governance restructuring in the post-Soviet context. The research highlights how these organizations influence Uzbekistan’s transition toward transparency, accountability, and rule of law through financial aid, technical assistance, and policy dialogue. Furthermore, the article assesses the compatibility of international models with local political dynamics and governance culture.
