LEGAL IMPERATIVES FOR DIGITAL SOVEREIGNTY AND THE ADOPTION OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN CENTRAL ASIA FOR 2026–2030
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this research and analytical paper is to identify the legal imperatives for digital sovereignty and the implementation of digital technologies in Central Asia in the 2026-2030 timeframe, based on a comparative analysis of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Singapore. The study is based on the hypothesis that a layered model of digital sovereignty is the most promising for the region, wherein the legal regimes for data, AI, and cyber-resilience are differentiated by risk level, and digital public infrastructure is enshrined in law as a distinct object of regulation
