THE ROLE OF CIVIL SOCIETY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE INTEGRATION OF CENTRAL ASIA

Abstract

Today socio-political processes in the world pose a number of urgent problems for the region and countries. Along with governments, civil society is also actively involved in many issues, including security, poverty prevention, countering global threats, climate change and solving environmental problems, as well as ensuring democracy and the rule of law. As states participate in mutual political cooperation and integration, civil society will also expand its participation in these processes based on the principle of social partnership. In this context, a truly civil society plays an important role in the process of cooperation, including the integration of the Central Asian region. This scientific article analyzes the results of a sociological survey conducted among scientists and researchers working in all countries of the region, on the topic "The role and participation of civil society in the context of Central Asian integration".
