About

I am a trade economist specializing in trade policy and WTO accession processes in Central Asia and the broader Eurasian region. My research focuses on Uzbekistan's integration into the multilateral trading system, regional trade agreements, and the institutional dimensions of trade reform. I hold a PhD in International Trade from Inha University (South Korea) and have been tracking Uzbekistan's WTO accession process since 2019. My work examines how trade liberalization, institutional quality, and rule of law interact to shape development outcomes in transition economies.
