| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research demonstrates why and how exactly the philosophies and measures of gravity of legal aid projects implemented thereby by donor-states in Uzbekistan vary and clarify how each donor-state tends to position human rights, democracy and the rule of law within own aid activities. It analyzes how human rights, democracy, and the rule of law in Uzbekistan as well as their perception within the local legal community, particularly academia, has been evolving, and towards which direction they may gravitate in the future.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Western states consider their concept of export of legal culture as highly effective and achievable at a little cost. However, the legal transplantation projects often evolve in a manner different from that initially proposed by law experts. On the other hand, Japanese legal assistance refrains from imposing its preferences of advanced laws on recipient state and, by pointing to the merits and demerits, stresses the importance of adjusting laws to the indigenous culture and needs of society. Present comparative study focuses on how foreign donors address human rights, democracy, and rule of law pillars within their legal aid projects. It also investigates how such projects have impacted upon the Uzbekistan’s government's and local legal community’s perception of foreign legal aid.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
This research contributes to the academic discussion of legal assistance as provided by foreign donor-states, including Japan, to Uzbekistan. It demonstrates in what way foreign donors could frame their projects so as to achieve better results in human rights, democracy and the rule of law areas.
