Uzbekistan occupies a singular position among the post-Soviet states of Central Asia: it is the most populous, harbours the region’s largest domestic market, and has embarked since 2017 on sweeping economic and legal reforms designed to attract foreign investment. Yet its legal system and arbitration framework remain remarkably underexplored in comparative scholarship. This article addresses that gap by providing the first comprehensive English-language analysis of Uzbekistan’s legal architecture and the historical development of arbitration from the Soviet era to the present day. Drawing on primary legislative sources, Plenum resolutions, and the scant existing commentary, the article traces the origins of Uzbekistan’s civil law system – rooted in the Romano-Germanic tradition as filtered through Soviet codification – and examines the distinctive role of abstract judicial law-making by the Supreme Court Plenum, a feature characteristic of neither classical continental nor common law models. The article then periodizes the history of arbitration into three phases: the Soviet period (pre-1991), the transitional period (1991–2006), and the modern reform period (2018–present). Particular attention is given to the five-year gap in New York Convention coverage (1991–1996), which created a significant legal uncertainty for international commercial disputes. Comparative analysis with Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan situates Uzbekistan’s experience within broader regional patterns of legal transplantation and institutional reform. The article concludes that understanding Uzbekistan’s legal foundations is an essential prerequisite for evaluating the efficacy of its contemporary arbitration reforms.
