Sobirov Javohirkhon Alloyorkhonovich , Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Political Science, Senior Lecturer, International Islamic Academy of UzbekistanAbstract
This article examines Uzbekistan’s Good-neighborhood diplomacy as a key instrument for ensuring regional stability and security in Central Asia. The study analyzes the conceptual foundations of good-neighborly relations through the lenses of international relations theory and international law, emphasizing their practical implementation in Uzbekistan’s foreign policy since 2016. Particular attention is paid to regional dialogue, conflict prevention, economic interdependence, and trust-building mechanisms. The article argues that Uzbekistan’s diplomatic initiatives have contributed to the transformation of Central Asia into a space of cooperative security, replacing geopolitical competition with strategic trust and collaboration. The findings demonstrate that Good-neighborhood diplomacy represents an effective and sustainable model for regional peace in the contemporary geopolitical environment.
