THE NATIONAL GUARD OF THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN AS A HYBRID INSTITUTION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY

The article provides a doctrinal legal analysis of the National Guard of the Republic of Uzbekistan as a hybrid institutional actor within the system of public security governance. The study is grounded in the concepts of polycentricity, subsidiarity, institutional hybridity, and militarization. The author substantiates the existence of a functional “security vacuum” between police and military jurisdictions and demonstrates that the National Guard performs a compensatory role within this institutional space by combining coercive, preventive, protective, and managerial functions in peacetime. The article further shows that the effectiveness of the National Guard is determined by the degree of its integration into a polycentric architecture of public governance. Particular attention is paid to the risks of the “creeping militarization” of everyday law enforcement and the necessity of legal safeguards aimed at preventing the institutional expansion of hybrid security structures. The theoretical and practical significance of the study lies in developing doctrinal foundations for the legal regulation of hybrid institutions of internal order.
