Abstract: After dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Central Asian countries aimed to develop regional integration. Despite declarations of the states to enhance economic and political cooperation, the Central Asian integration institution was dissolved in 2005. This paper analyses the issue of regional integration in Central Asia with application of intergovernmentalism by Stanley Hoffmann with the aim of explaining hindrances which led to dissolution of the Central Asian integration structure. that divergent views of Presidents of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan significantly hindered the development of the regional integration.
