CONFLICTS OF CENTRAL ASIA IN THE USE OF WATER RESOURCES

In this article, intergovernmental relations on water resources management and the impact on development between the four countries of the region - Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan - will be analyzed. The time frame of the study covers the period of independence in the early 1990s and to the present. The first step in this direction was the signing in 1992 of an agreement on the establishment of an Interstate Commission for Water Coordination. This marks the beginning of a new "water diplomacy" between the countries. Since then, several other documents have been signed and signed. However, not all agreements have been implemented or approved by one or more countries. Today in Central Asia, there are grounds for the development of potential local or regional conflicts due to undeveloped mechanisms for the use and provision of water resources. As a designated problem, a solution is proposed in the logic of Putnam's two-tier game approach. In the course of conducting international negotiations, the use of the proposed tools, within the framework of game theory, which will support the parties involved in terms of quantitative assessment and modeling of processes, is a fundamental component for conflict prevention and resolution
