DOI: Institutional Renewal of Youth Policy in Uzbekistan: The Transition from The Komsomol To the Youth Union of Uzbekistan
Toshpulatov Mamadali , PhD Student, Navoi State University, UzbekistanAbstract
This article examines the substantive renewal of youth policy in Uzbekistan on the eve of independence and during the early years of independence, the process of abandoning the Soviet ideological system, and the political, legal, organizational, and social factors that shaped the transition from the Komsomol structure to the Youth Union of Uzbekistan. The study analyzes the ideologically dependent nature of youth policy in the late Soviet period, the sharp transformation of the tasks facing youth organizations after the events of August 1991, the reform initiatives advanced by the leadership and regional branches of the Leninist Communist Youth League of Uzbekistan, the resolutions of extraordinary plenums and congresses, as well as the programmatic foundations of the new youth organization. The article interprets social protection of youth, support for gifted young people, open dialogue with youth, international cooperation, and organizational independence as new directions in youth policy during the transitional period. It concludes that the emergence of youth policy in Uzbekistan as an independent direction of state policy was the product of historical necessity.
