O‘ZBEKISTON-KOREYA RESPUBLIKASI IQTISODIY HAMKORLIGI (2017-2026): ASIMMETRIK MODERNIZATSIYA SHERIKLIGI

The article examines why the upgrading of Uzbekistan-Republic of Korea relations to a special strategic partnership has not produced commensurate growth in trade and realised investment. A mixed-methods case study of 2017-2026 combines trade statistics, a trade reciprocity index, export-coverage and concentration measures, a pledge-realisation analysis of summit packages and document analysis. Trade remained almost one-directional (index 0.025-0.046), and the investment stock grew by only US$1 billion against more than US$33 billion pledged since 2019. The relationship is conceptualised as an asymmetric modernisation partnership; delivery monitoring, a critical-minerals export anchor, and a human-capital corridor are proposed.
