“…A wide range of literature was used in the course of scientific research, the main emphasis of which was placed on exploring the specific areas and methods of development of the EU energy policy in the CA region. Examples of these include analytical and methodological materials (Khitakhunov 2023), scientific research (Moisé and Sorbello 2022), and statistical studies (Rodriguez et al 2022). For a more accurate and qualitative presentation of the specifics of the European energy strategy in the CA countries, in particular, in terms of the legal framework, several documents regulating activities in this sector of the economy were selected, analyzed and used.…”

“…However, the slow development of infrastructure construction and huge domestic demand for energy complicates the performance of joint tasks, especially on the part of Tashkent, which establishes serious barriers to close cooperation between the parties. In 2018, the Uzbekistan Reconstruction and Development Fund signed a UK-RU Memorandum of Understanding for financial incentives for energy and oil and gas projects (Moisé and Sorbello 2022). A contract for the construction of a solar power plant in Samarkand was signed in 2020, for which the UK has committed more than USD 1 billion (Soutullo and Rinaldi 2022).…”

“…These include legal and regulatory shortcomings, infrastructure deficits, financial issues, workforce qualifications, low public awareness, limited government support, and incomplete data availability. Moisé and Sorbello (2022) admitted that the insufficient profitability of Kazakh, Uzbek, and other national economic enterprises and the lack of control over actual investors resulted in periods of cooling in cooperation with Brussels.…”

“…EU states of course also conduct bilateral relations, and irrespective of their EU membership, and particularist interests in Central Asia have generated state and indeed nonstate interests (for companies and for energy interests, and their divergence from and disruptive effects on EU collective policy, see Moisé and Sorbello 2022).

By shifting the study of European Union (EU)-Central Asian relations from its fixed category of black-boxing both the EU and Central Asia, this article advances the case for the approach of examining multi-level and multi-actor interactions that identify the dynamic processes of reciprocal action and meaning-making that characterize the mutual cooperation. It distinguishes perceptions, interests and practices, pointing to the rationales and modes of behaviour of multiple EU and Central Asian actors. The article also advances five reasons why EU studies should take more interest in Central Asia, given that the EU's larger external relations and security agenda extends to this region. Similarly, it shows that Central Asian studies can benefit from the analysis of the region's interactions with external actors, including the EU, given that external actors contribute to reshaping national policy agendas and influence everyday life.

EU entrepreneurs want fewer restrictions on investments in the context of case law and legislation from the Central Asian countries (Moisé, Sorbello, 2022).…”
