| description | In this article, the scientific literature on integration processes in Central Asia was studied using the method of bibliometric analysis from the point of view of thematic networks. The purpose of the study is to identify the main directions of works covering the problems of integration, to show trends in their development, and to establish new prospects for future research. In the course of the analysis, three main clusters of scientific literature were identified: economic integration, regional development, and water resources management. In addition, new research areas related to economic development, environmental issues, and transport and logistics infrastructure have been identified. The results of the study show the main challenges and new opportunities for cooperation in the region and emphasize the need for a comprehensive consideration of integration processes. This article can serve as a methodological basis for scientific papers devoted to the study of integration ties in Central Asia in the future. |
