“…Later, in 1994, Karimov unsuccessfully attempted to encourage the construction of a direct railway from Uzbekistan to China through Kyrgyzstan during Prime Minister Li Pen’s visit to Uzbekistan (Khodzhaev 2007 , p. 103). The aims that Karimov had in mind were related less to the notion of connecting Chinese markets with European consumers and more to the developmental agenda of Uzbekistan (Spechler and Spechler 2010 : 159–170). On the one hand, Uzbekistan’s transportation and energy infrastructure have been over-reliant on Russian networks for both the export of Uzbek goods and resources and transportation services.…”

This paper focuses on the articulated intentions andregistered projects of emerging developmental government in Uzbekistanvis-a-vis Russia, China, South Korea and Japan in the areas of Energy andTransport Infrastructure Development. By thematically analyzing the cooperationroadmaps for 2017–2019, this paper offers insights into how Uzbekistaninternalizes energy and infrastructure-related projects with these countries inits re-opening to the international community in post-Karimov era.

In addition, for Uzbekistan, theinfrastructure and energy-related initiatives are part of its de-colonizationagenda aiming to shift its economy from being resource-based to being based onthe export of value-added products.

“…89 Uzbek policymakers were wary of turning to Russian companies, which already controlled a large share of the Uzbek energy sector, 90 and some Western companies were hesitant to invest in Uzbekistan given its human rights abuses and unreliable business environment. 91 South Africa moved into alignment with China on these and similar issues by changing its UNGA votes on the four resolutions summarized in Table 3 As an outlier case, Nicaragua's vote alignment is thus difficult to explain but at least three possibilities exist.…”

How China assumes its position of superpower is one of the most important questions regarding global order in the twenty-first century. While considerable and sustained attention has been paid to China’s growing economic and military might, work examining how China is attempting, if at all, to influence the ecosystem of global norms is in its earlier stages. In this article we examine China’s actions in an important venue for the development of global norms, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Using a unique dataset that captures how other countries move into or out of alignment with China on UNGA resolutions that are repeated over time, we find statistical evidence that China used diplomatic and economic means in an attempt to subtly alter international norms. We further illustrate these findings by examining four states that made substantive moves toward China on resolutions concerning national sovereignty, democracy, international order, non-interference, and human rights.

There was a strong spike in authority corresponding to these events, however Karimov was able to quell the resultant tensions and prevent a serious conflict from occurring.…”
