In modern Uzbekistan, there is an increase in the social activity of all members of civil society everywhere, expressed in a conscious desire to participate in resolving issues, managed by government. The development of civil activity is an objective process accompanying the democratization of the economic, legal and social fields of human activity. These processes are characteristic of New Uzbekistan.

As annual public opinion surveys show, a distinctive feature of civil society as perceived by respondents is the ability of citizens to realize their aspirations to participate actively in the public life of the country, in dealing with issues of public concern, ensuring public scrutiny of state and local government decision-making, affecting the public interest.

Political parties are the most classical institutions of democracy, and the democratic principle of political pluralism contributes to the existence of a variety of political forces with competition between them for representation in state bodies.

The most important mechanism that allows parties to function in a democratic system is the competition in the public political sphere for the right to represent the interests of society and be the bearer of political power.

Inter-party competition integrates many indicators that reflect the state of affairs in society: it is directly connected with the mechanisms of the electoral process, the forms of political mobilization, and the methods of social control over the actions of the authorities.

The world is going through a difficult period. As a result of increased international competition, contradictions in the field of global security have deepened, which has led to many sanctions restrictions on trade. This has a devastating effect on trade flows and international value chains.

As the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev said: «Today we are witnessing an unprecedented lack of dialogue and trust, growing uncertainty in international relations. All this undermines the foundations of multilateral cooperation, provokes the escalation of conflicts, leads to systemic failures in the global economy».

As a result of the government's policy aimed at ensuring freedom of speech, the domestic media scene is becoming increasingly active, with representatives of the blogosphere and users of social networks discussing current social and political subjects.

An analysis of the dynamics of the domestic media space reveals that the cross-platform Telegram remains the most popular source of receiving and distributing information among the country's Internet community. For instance, the total number of channels in the Uzbek segment of the messenger, according to tgstat.com analyzer, is 101,000, and the number of active groups amounts to about 12,000. In addition, it is worth noting that the total number of audience exceeds 574 million users. In terms of popularity of this platform within the country, Uzbekistan ranks 4th in the world after Russia, Iran and India.
