Political, economic, legal, and many other aspects of European integration are being studied under the “European studies” label in the world. It should be noted that the interest is well justified.
Numerous studies in the field of European integration as well as developed curriculum and disciplines, research papers that become more widespread in Uzbekistan and Central Asia, prove it.
Hence the integration processes within the European Union (EU) are the focus of attention, the study of different aspects of the European integration processes and political, economic, and cultural cooperation of the Republic of Uzbekistan with the EU, to investigate the EU energy policy, how to export to the common European market, cooperation in the field of education, in ecological security, legal approximation and other subjects may be defined as priorities of research activities in Uzbekistan.
