1.2 The main factors in the development of opinion centers in Central Asia

• The "think tanks" of Central Asia, with rare exceptions, are still poorly represented in the world ranking, which is an indicator of insufficient recognition in the world expert community. The State think tanks established after independence are quite young and face a number of problems in their institutional development, funding and staffing.
• Each of the five countries of the region has its own specificity in the functioning of state expert and analytical centers. But in general, the main task of these institutions is to analytically accompany the activities of the president, the government and other state bodies.
