Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the dynamic institutional framework and interregional economic
linkages within Uzbekistan, with a focused case study on the Namangan region. It critically examines the pivotal role of
institutional coordination, governance resilience, and advanced conflict resolution mechanisms in shaping sustainable
and robust regional cooperation amid ongoing economic transition. Drawing upon a rigorous assessment of contemporary
challenges, exemplary domestic practices, and comparative insights from international conflict management models, this
study formulates evidence-based strategic recommendations to enhance inclusive economic integration and long-term
regional stability. The findings contribute significantly to the fields of institutional economics, regional development policy,
and governance, offering valuable implications for academics, policymakers, and practitioners engaged in fostering
resilient and balanced regional growth in transition economies.
