ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION OF TASHKENT IN THE LATE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURIES: A TALE OF TRANSITION AND INTEGRATION
Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic relations of the city of Tashkent in Turkistan during the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It examines the multifaceted processes that shaped Tashkent's economic landscape during this transformative period, including Russian imperial expansion, industrialization, global trade, and cultural exchange. The research reveals how the Russian conquest of Tashkent facilitated the city's integration into the wider imperial economy, leading to the export of Central Asian commodities and the establishment of transportation and trade networks. Furthermore, the emergence of industrial enterprises and urbanization transformed Tashkent into a dynamic urban center, while its historical role as a hub of trade and cultural exchange along the Silk Road continued to influence its economic relations. The study underscores the enduring significance of this period in shaping Tashkent's economic trajectory and its enduring ties to regional and global markets.
