Institutionalizing Pre-Legislative Public Opinion Research in Uzbekistan: Toward Evidence-Based and Socially Legitimate Lawmaking

This thesis argues for the institutionalization of pre-legislative public opinion research in Uzbekistan’s law-making process. Despite existing legal provisions, the absence of mandatory mechanisms results in inconsistent use of public opinion studies. Drawing on evidence-based lawmaking practices, the thesis proposes requiring analytical conclusions from specialized public opinion research organizations for draft laws of social significance. This approach would strengthen the empirical basis, transparency, and social legitimacy of legislation.
