Abstract

This paper explores the transition from defensive realism to constructivist policies in Uzbekistan’s approach toward Afghanistan, analysing the driving factors behind this shift and its implications for regional stability. By examining key historical moments, policy decisions, and emerging trends, it provides insight into how Uzbekistan’s foreign policy has adapted to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
