The New Uzbekistan Model of Family Institution: A Multicomponent Constitutional-Legal Architecture and Its Comparative Analysis

This article presents a systematic socio-philosophical and comparative-legal analysis of the New Uzbekistan model of family institution, characterized by its multicomponent constitutional-legal architecture. Following the 2017 onset of the New Uzbekistan development phase and the 2023 referendum-based adoption of the revised Constitution, Uzbekistan has developed an integrative model for strengthening the family institution that synthesizes traditional ethnocultural foundations, secular constitutional fundamentalism, Islamic axiological resources, international legal norms, and classical Sufi heritage. The investigation employs a triangulated methodology combining systematic legal analysis of primary normative sources, comparative-legal analysis with selected international family policy models (South Korea, Japan, Sweden, Turkey), and conceptual-philosophical analysis of the underlying axiological architecture. Primary sources include Articles 76-80 of the 2023 Constitution, the 1998 Family Code, Presidential Resolutions of 2018 and 2021 on family institution strengthening, and the "Each Family — Entrepreneur" and "Iron Notebook" social-economic mechanisms. The findings demonstrate that the New Uzbekistan model exhibits a distinctive multicomponent integrative architecture that transcends both the traditionalist-religious and secular-libertarian models prevalent in international comparison. The five constitutive components — ethnocultural foundation, secular constitutional fundamentalism, Islamic axiological resource, international legal norms, and classical Sufi heritage — operate in organic synthesis rather than reductive integration. Comparative analysis reveals that this multicomponent architecture offers conceptual resources for addressing the limitations of mono-paradigmatic family policy models. Theoretical contributions include the development of an integrative-architectural framework for analyzing post-Soviet Central Asian family policies. Practical implications encompass policy applications in family economic stimulation, social protection ("Iron Notebook" mechanisms), and culturally embedded family well-being initiatives.
