The political system: Uzbekistan gained independence in 1991. In 1992 a democratic constitution was introduced that guarantees respect for human rights, the separation of powers and other things. However, Uzbekistan remains a dysfunctional entity in which opposition parties are still banned and where freedom of assembly and expression do not even exist. In other words: after independence, no state could establish itself here according to the OECD model. Uzbekistan is today an authoritarian presidential republic, more precisely a dictatorship. The position of the president within the power apparatus is dominant, Separation of powers, institutions, rules only exist formally. The president is regarded as the father of the nation as well as the guarantor of the country’s stability and security and rules it through decrees. He is also the chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers, which consists of the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Ministers, the chairmen of state committees and other state organs. The chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan also belongs to the Cabinet of Ministers. The President appoints and dismisses the Prime Minister, the Deputy Ministers, the members of the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank and the governors of the regional administrations. He is Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces.

In the past, separatist tendencies could only be observed in the Autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan. When the disintegration of the USSR was announced and took place quickly, some politicians in Karakalpakstan also pleaded for the sovereignty of their autonomous region and demanded independence – also from Uzbekistan. But President Karimov made very clear that secession Karakalpakstan will not be tolerated by Uzbekistan.
