In this study a multiple regression model is presented analyzing the impact of political space on democratic quality in Uzbekistan. The Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) database is used. It is focused on the indices of political violence, freedom of peaceful assembly and polarized society. The main hypothesis of this study is that due to political reformations after the collapse of Soviet Union, major changes have been achieved in Uzbek society and its political system, a fact that has created new challenges for the future. It seems that there is a shift towards liberalization in Uzbekistan, a fact that denotes the implementation of reforms directed towards fostering political, economic, and social openness within the country.
