GLOBAL HEALTH AS AN ELEMENT OF PUBLIC SECURITY: THE CASE OF UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

This study explores the interconnection between global health systems and public security, using Uzbekistan as a case study. Through a theoretical review and an empirical mini-survey, it analyzes how national health reforms contribute to strengthening social trust, resilience to epidemiological risks, and citizens’ sense of safety. The main hypothesis is that public security in Uzbekistan directly depends on the effectiveness of global health strategies and their adaptation to local conditions. The conclusion presents recommendations for further enhancement of health diplomacy and youth participation mechanisms.

Keywords
