    Conclusion
    Introduction
    This research presents a comparative
    analysis of the extent and importance of a unified legal system in
    administrative procedures. It closely examines the common methods used to
    promote law in Post soviet and economically developed countries, with the aim
    of extracting valuable lessons that can be applied to Uzbekistan. It is
    important to acknowledge the limitations of this paper, given the complexities
    of the topic.
    Problem statement
    How can the implementation of a
    unified legal system in the field of administrative procedures be improved to
    ensure effective governance, transparency, and the protection of citizens’ and
    businesses’ rights in Uzbekistan?
    Although several years have passed
    since the enactment of the Law “On Administrative Procedures”, the
    expected results have not yet been achieved through the law. Still, several
    issues should be tackled. Since the legal institution of administrative
    procedures is relatively new in the legal system of Uzbekistan, almost no
    research in this area has been conducted by national scholars. Few scholars
    expressed their views only on the terms “administrative act”[1] and “administrative
    document”[2],
    yet many issues existing as a barrier in the development of administrative
    procedures still remain untouched by the scholars.
    To unify the application of the Law
    “On Administrative Procedures”, to ensure the equality of the
    enforcement of the law in all parts of Uzbekistan, entrepreneurs and other
    business entities appeal on the unlawful actions and neglect behavior of government
    authorities, and decisions of administrative courts because of
    misinterpretation of the law by the courts, a legislative intervention is
    required. These authorities are vested with the capacity to grant permissions,
    licenses, certificate and other types of permissive documents to start, change,
    and/or end the business. Besides the need for the unification of administrative
    procedures, there are several areas of the law, specifically, where challenges
    arise that could hinder the full enforcement of the law. First, the law is
    detailed and comprehensive, necessary for thorough regulation. However, this
    complexity could pose challenges for individuals and entities to fully
    understand and comply with the procedures. In this regard, ensuring
    accessibility and clear communication of the procedures to all stakeholders is
    crucial. Also, article 21 emphasizes interdepartmental interaction, which is
    essential for effective administrative procedures. However, coordination
    between different departments and agencies can be challenging due to varying
    protocols, priorities, and bureaucratic hurdles. Article 12 highlights the
    inadmissibility of bureaucratic formalism:
    “Administrative bodies are prohibited from burdening
    interested persons with duties, denying them rights or restricting their rights
    in any other way for the sole purpose of complying with formal rules and
    requirements”.[3]
    In practice, however, bureaucratic
    tendencies can be deeply ingrained, leading to unnecessary delays and obstacles
    in administrative procedures. While Article 14 promotes the “one-stop-shop”
    principle for efficiency stating that
    “In cases where the administrative body for the
    implementation of the administrative procedure requires the receipt of
    documents and information from other administrative and other bodies,
    administrative proceedings are carried out according to the “one-stop shop”
    principle, in which the administrative body receives the necessary documents
    and information on its own, without the participation of interested parties
    through interdepartmental interaction, except as provided by law”.
    However, the actual implementation
    of this principle can be challenging due to the need for significant
    coordination and integration of various administrative services.
    Despite the progressive nature of
    the Law on Administrative Procedures in Uzbekistan, its implementation stays
    largely theoretical, with old administrative practices persisting in practice.
    This discrepancy between the legal framework and its practical application has
    led to a lack of judicial enforcement, low awareness and compliance among
    entrepreneurs and administrative bodies, and continued occurrence of unlawful
    administrative acts. As a result, there is a significant negative impact on
    business confidence, investment intentions, and job creation, undermining the
    state’s policy goals of improving the business environment and investment
    attractiveness. Additionally, issues such as disproportionate administrative
    measures, questionable legitimacy of control measures, and inadequate
    implementation of the principle of proportionality further exacerbate the
    problem. These challenges highlight the need for a unified legal system in the
    field of administrative procedures in Uzbekistan to ensure effective governance,
    transparency, and the protection of citizens’ and businesses’ rights.
    The most disturbing problem in the field
    of administrative procedures in Uzbekistan is the significant gap between the
    legislative framework and its practical implementation. This issue primarily
    stems from the resistance of administrative bodies to adopting new practices
    mandated by the law, combined with insufficient training for legal staff. As a
    result, many administrative bodies continue to rely on outdated procedures,
    which leads to a lack of judicial enforcement and a persistent disconnection
    between the legislative intentions and actual administrative practices. These
    challenges significantly hinder the effectiveness of the Law on Administrative
    Procedures, undermining its intended benefits of ensuring fairness,
    transparency, and efficient governance.
    Research question and thesis statement
    Numerous legislative efforts and
    reforms have been undertaken in Uzbekistan to establish a unified legal system
    of administrative procedures aimed at improving efficiency, transparency, and
    legal compliance in governance. Despite these efforts, practical challenges
    such as inconsistent application, bureaucratic resistance, and limited
    enforcement continue to undermine the effectiveness of these reforms. This
    discrepancy between the legislative intent and its real-world application
    presents a critical area for analysis and improvement. Accordingly, this research
    sets out to explore the following research questions:
    1. How effective is the current
    unified legal system of administrative procedures in Uzbekistan in enhancing
    governance and legal compliance?
    2. What are the main challenges
    and barriers to the effective implementation of administrative procedures under
    the current legal framework?
    3. What strategies can be
    adopted to improve the effectiveness of the unified legal system of
    administrative procedures in Uzbekistan?
    This research examines the
    effectiveness of Uzbekistan’s unified legal system of administrative
    procedures, comparing it with models from post-Soviet and economically
    developed countries to identify best practices and challenges. It argues that
    despite the legislative foundation provided by the Law “On Administrative
    Procedures”, persistent issues in practical application and enforcement
    hinder its efficacy. By analyzing historical developments, current legal
    frameworks, and the impact of foreign administrative practices, this research
    proposes targeted reforms aimed at overcoming implementation barriers,
    enhancing transparency, and safeguarding the rights and interests of
    stakeholders, thereby improving governance and administrative accountability in
    Uzbekistan.
    Research map
    This research consists of an
    introduction, three chapters and a conclusion, which focus on examining the
    significance and evolution of the administrative procedures within a unified
    legal framework in Uzbekistan, comparison with post-Soviet and developed
    countries, and recommending reforms based on identified legal factors.
    Chapter I explores the background
    and overview of the administrative procedures in Uzbekistan. It first delves
    into the historical development and recent reforms to understand the evolution
    and current state of these procedures. This section sets the stage by outlining
    the trajectory of administrative legal reforms and their impact on governance.
    The chapter then transitions to a discussion on the current legal framework
    governing administrative procedures, highlighting its structure, scope, and
    effectiveness in addressing administrative needs.
    Chapter II conducts a comparative
    analysis of administrative procedures between selected countries, divided into
    post-Soviet countries(Georgia and Kazakhstan) and economically developed countries(Japan and Germany). This chapter aims
    to identify and analyze different models of administrative procedures and their
    effectiveness, providing a broader context within which Uzbekistan’s system can
    be evaluated. It assesses similarities and differences, extracting relevant
    aspects that could influence or enhance Uzbekistan’s administrative procedures.
    Chapter III addresses the legal
    factors crucial for the reformation of administrative procedures in Uzbekistan
    and proposes recommendations. It evaluates the applicability of foreign
    practices identified in the previous chapter to the Uzbek context, taking into
    account legal, social, and economic environments. It discusses the legal
    barriers to reform and offers tailored recommendations for overcoming these
    challenges, including potential legislative changes and strategic initiatives
    for implementation.
