STUDYING JADIDISM FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE MODERN UNIFIED HISTORY OF CENTRAL ASIA

Abstract

Within the Eastern intellectual elite, who were awakening in reaction to Western conquests since the 19th century, Jadidism became a relatively mature political, ideological and religious movement. It was a political doctrine that was periodically updated in accordance with the demands of the times, in terms of both conceptual views and national strategy. In light of the substantial body of research on the Jadidist movement, which is widely regarded as a significant national awakening phenomenon, it is imperative to continue examining its political and strategic methods and philosophy, which closely align with the spirit of the nation.

In the current context of integration and a unified regional strategy for Central Asia within the framework of global development, there is a need for ideological teachings based on its roots and the mechanisms of national development. Being progressive at its core, Jadidism created a national strategic concept based on a synthesis of the experiences of countries that, at the time, were pursuing the most progressive paths of modernisation. This article analyses the importance of studying the political and strategic teachings of the Jadid movement and its role in the history of Central Asia.
