FORMATION OF THE KOKAND KHANATE AND ANALYSIS OF THE STAGES OF ITS DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Historians of Central Asia have frequently examined the history of the Khanate during the last decade of the 20th century and the events of the first decade of the 21st. From a historical perspective, this article examines a few research projects, scholarly writings, and books about the Khanate that were released in Central Asia. From the last decade of the 20th century to the present, the study of the history of the Central Asian khanates of the 18th and early 20th centuries has expanded and now addresses a variety of scientific questions in addition to historical research concerns. Historians from Russia and Central Asia have examined a large number of scholarly publications in the past few years and produced numerous monographs. Although the research was conducted in compliance with the most recent standards of historical science, it should be noted that the historiographic analysis reveals a number of conflicts in certain areas, which the analysis of validates the significance of historiographic research. From a scientific perspective, research on the economic, social, and cultural life of the Kokand Khanate and the Bukhara Emirate, as well as on their military history, diplomacy, and external and internal political histories, is extremely important. However, historiographic analysis and the generalization of the scientific findings from these studies offer additional opportunities for studying these states' histories.
