Tashkent State University of Law (TSUL), especially the International Law and Human Rights Department, has close connections with Department of Sociology of Law of the Lund University in the frames of European Commission-funded project “MARS: Non-Western Migration Regimes in a Global Perspective” (project number 101130177). This relationship with the world-leading Lund University gives the opportunity to participate in the international and multi-disciplinary project, to develop the bilateral collaboration, opening new directions for cooperation. Within the scope of the “MARS: Non-Western Migration Regimes in a Global Perspective”, the research secondment of the professors of the TSUL took place in August and September of 2024 at the Department of Sociology of Law at the Lund University.
Throughout this period, we have engaged in joint research, conferences, and seminars. During these sessions, professors of TSUL conducted field research in social and legal sphere especially in migration and anticorruption spheres. This cooperation also led to the creation of various types of research seminars. Our stay at the university included research activities such as using library resources opportunities to interact with department staff and visiting scholars who attended conferences and seminars.
The extensive library collections of the Faculty and the University, covering regional and diverse topics, have greatly enriched our research on the above issues. Joint consultations with our colleagues at the department, namely with Professor Dr. Urinboev Rustam, played a key role in clarifying the structure, plan and composition of our articles. These interactions strengthened the theoretical and methodological foundation of our work.
Over the month, we had the honor of taking part in weekly seminars conducted by the department. One of these events was the presentation of a book on migration processes in Central Asia «Law, Society and Corruption. Lessons from the Central Asian Context», where the authors Rustamjon Urinboyev and Måns Svensson presented their work.
