Political science is a relatively new science in Central Asian countries. The formation of the science began at the end of the 20th century.

In addition, an institutional structure has been created that allows conducting research and analytical activities in the sphere of politics. However, despite initial successes in the process of institutionalization, in the countries of Central Asia political science still needs to develop and resolve existing problems.
