Legal Framework for Corporate Social Responsibility in Uzbekistan: Convergence of European Standards and National Regulatory Mechanisms
Ergashev, Azamat
Abstract
This article examines the legal framework for corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Uzbekistan through the lens of European regulatory models. Employing doctrinal analysis and comparative legal research, the study investigates the transplantation of European CSR mechanisms into Uzbekistan's legal system, identifying critical gaps between existing regulatory approaches and the demands of modern sustainable development. The research reveals that Uzbekistan's regulatory landscape remains fragmented, while European frameworks such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive provide substantial models for reform. A convergent regulatory model is proposed that integrates European standards with national legal traditions, ensuring compatibility with international norms while addressing socio-economic specificities. Findings contribute to theoretical understanding of legal transplantation in transitional economies and offer practical recommendations for establishing effective, phased CSR regulatory mechanisms.
