1.2 The main factors in the development of opinion centers in Central Asia In its current context, the history of the growth of analytical centers (brain centers) has surpassed 100 years. Since first emerging in the United States, analytical centers later became significant centers of study. An aspect of democratic societies that plays a major role in shaping policy decisions as reliable sources of problem-related knowledge, as well as financial, state, as well as local. Institutes of state analytics is founded after independence in Central Asian countries and are now at the stage of creation and growth as "think tanks" of influence. In Soviet times, the main managerial decisions were made by the "center," so the leadership of the republics did not see a special need for the creation of analytical structures. Having become independent, the former republics of the Soviet Union were faced with the need to create their own institutions. However, the power elites of the region for quite a long time did not understand the importance of creating their own analytical potential to support management decisions and showed almost complete indifference to the development of science and scientific and expert institutions. 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.
Performance indicator of any analytical the extent of its impact on the decision-making process management decisions. Other specifics of the work of think tanks in Central Asia is the question of the available distance between the political power and the expert community: the process of implementing the recommendations takes place with difficulties, often not reaching the SLR. It is believed that analytical products reach key SCL, passing through several stages of filtration.4 DIFFICULTIES WITH WHICH FACING ANALYSTS As you can see, in the science and technical community's work, Central Asia has a number of complexities, deciding quantity and consistency of analytical substance at the outlet. There are followings: 1.Limitations relating to the political context Despite some differences in the degree of openness of political regimes, the development of democratic institutions and civil society, in all countries of the region, the analytical community is experiencing some difficulties for free expression. This problem concerns both government think tanks and independent ones. State analytical institutions depend on public financing and are forced to work within the framework of "permissible" intellectual freedom. Analytical structures affiliated with state institutions are forced to maintain the main political course and part of their activities turns into legitimization of the state's foreign and domestic policies and propaganda of leadership decisions through light-hearted comments in the media. In conditions of limited intellectual freedom, even independent experts and think tanks have to resort to self-censorship and adjust their achievements. At the same time, the quality of analytical products may suffer. 2.Security issue experts This problem stems partly from the first problem. The issue of the security of analysts in Central Asia at the forum has been raised several times. Currently, experts who express a critical opinion about power or current policies risk not only being publicly "ostracized," but also being persecuted. A striking latest example of updating the issue of expert security is the case of detention in 2019 on charges of high treason of the influential and authoritative Chinese K.Syroezhkin, who worked at KISI and is the author of numerous work on CA-China cooperation.5 This example serves as a constant reminder to the expert community of the need to observe self-censorship and bypass sharp angles during the conduct and publication of studies on sensitive topics for the LPR and the authorities. 3.Weak scientific interaction and the expert community Almost all countries have weak engagement of the academic community in cooperation with expert analytical centers. Forum participants consider this one of the problems characteristic of Central Asia. If in Western countries "think tanks" are close cooperate with academic institutions, enjoy academic freedom, conduct research, then in our countries bridges between universities, research institutions and think tanks insufficient. 4.Informational calls societies Expert opinion in the information society becomes only one of the many versions opinions expressed. Information space makes everyone vulnerable to disinformation flows. The truth ceases to worry people, appears many people claiming to be "expert," for example, the so-called "talking heads," "television political scientists" or experts are ordinary citizens. Occurs substitution of professional experts by self-positioned experts, and those appointed by the "expert" authorities, interest groups, or the media. Think tanks face these conditions with problematic questions about how to keep your authority, influence decision makers, promote constructive political dialogue and democratic governance through quality analytics.
