During the meeting, the authors and editorial and technical team were introduced, and the draft table of contents and preliminary work plan were discussed. It should be noted that the authors of the collective monograph include experienced diplomats and researchers from the Institute for Advanced International Studies: First Vice-Rector of UWED and Director of IAIS Akram Umarov, Head of the Center for American Studies Ulugbek Ishankhodjaev, Head of the Laboratory of Anthropology and Conflict Studies Azamat Seitov, Head of the Center for Asia-Pacific Studies Abbos Bobokhonov, and Leading Research Fellow Rustam Makhmudov.
