Summary/Abstract: In the background of radical Islamic terrorism, which has become a global threat today, the impact of the project in question is undeniable. These groups created by the process in question were not only limited to the territory of Afghanistan, but were exported to its periphery, Central Asia. In this sense, similar structures began to form in the countries with the soft belly of the region, and Uzbekistan, one of these countries, was exposed to the threat of the “Uzbekistan Islamic Movement”, which we can consider as one of these structures. This study aims to understand the organization in different dimensions.
