Uzbek Diaspora in Germany: Navigating Cultural Identity, Migration Policies, and Economic Cooperation

Abstract

This study examines the Uzbek diaspora in Germany, focusing on its cultural identity, migration policies and economic cooperation. It uses a global to-specific framework to provide a comprehensive analysis of these dimensions. The research sheds light on the challenges faced by the Uzbek-German community in preserving their heritage, adapting to a new cultural environment, and contributing to the German labour force. The study also examines the implications of the Uzbek-German migration agreement, highlighting diplomatic entanglements, ethical considerations, and potential socio-economic impacts. The economic aspect is analyzed through the theoretical lens of diaspora economics and capital, drawing parallels with the experiences of the Indian and Chinese diasporas. The research contributes to a more holistic understanding of the Uzbek diaspora in Germany, offers valuable insights into their experiences and aims to stimulate further dialogue and research on global diasporas.
