LA PORTA The inauguration on June 18, 2009 of Tsakhia Elbegdorj as Mongolia’s next president is an important, if not essential, factor in maintaining the country’s two-party democracy. By all accounts, the Democratic Party (DP) leader ran a masterful campaign to defeat incumbent Alphonse F. La Porta, a Nambaryn Enkhbayar of the former communist Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party (MPRP). The peaceful presidential election outcome is all the more significant in light of the retired United States Foreign July 2008 violence following the highly charged parliamentary elections when five persons Service Officer who served as were killed and over 200 were injured as a result of opposition protests against election chief of mission in irregularities.

    An Analysis of the Mongolian Political and Economic Transition: A Model Democracy with a Promising Future By Enkhtaivan Oyunbazar May, 2015 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in (Economics) in cursu honorum Reviewed and approved by: Dr. Alexander Mirescu Submitted to The Honors Program, Saint Peter’s University March 23, 2015 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank all of the people who have been helpful, supportive, and caring to make this work possible.

Abstract Mongolia is a democratic free market-oriented Asian state and it is the second largest land locked country in the world. Located between the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China, Mongolia’s total area of 1.6 million square kilometers encompasses an area greater than that of Britain, France, Germany, and Italy combined; four times the size of Japan. Mongolia is the fifth largest country in Asia and it is also the least densely populated country in the world; the country’s population reached only three million in 2015. Mongolia became the second communist country in the world after the USSR when the Bolsheviks advised the young Mongolian nationalists to establish a Marxist state. Mongolia emerged as a supplier of raw materials and food for the USSR’s Siberian industries and towns leading up to the transition.

  • Mongolia: Issues for Congress
    Mongolia: Issues for Congress Susan V. Lawrence Specialist in Asian Affairs September 3, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41867 Mongolia: Issues for Congress Summary Mongolia is a sparsely populated young democracy in a remote part of Asia, sandwiched between two powerful large neighbors, China and Russia. It made its transition to democracy and free market reforms peacefully in 1990, after nearly 70 years as a Soviet satellite state. A quarter of a century later, the predominantly Tibetan Buddhist nation remains the only formerly Communist Asian nation to have embraced democracy. Congress has shown a strong interest in Mongolia since 1990, funding assistance programs, approving the transfer of excess defense articles, ratifying a bilateral investment treaty, passing legislation to extend permanent normal trade relations, and passing seven resolutions commending Mongolia’s progress and supporting strong U.S.-Mongolia relations. Congressional interest is Mongolia has focused on the country’s story of democratic development. Since passing a democratic constitution in 1992, Mongolia has held six direct presidential elections and six direct parliamentary elections. The State Department considers Mongolia’s most recent elections to have been generally “free and fair” and said that in 2013, Mongolia “generally respected” freedoms of speech, press, assembly, and association. It raised concerns, however, about corruption and lack of transparency in government affairs. On the economic front, Mongolia’s mineral wealth, including significant reserves of coal, copper, gold, and uranium, offers investment opportunities for American companies. Foreign investors and the U.S. government have criticized Mongolia’s unpredictable investment climate, however. In the fall of 2013, Mongolia passed a new investment law and, after years of negotiations, signed a transparency agreement with the United States.

  • Expanding Vistas of Mongolia-Russia Strategic Partnership Since 2000 Ulaanbaatar Declaration
    The Mongolian Journal of International Affairs DOI: https://10.5564/mjia.v20i0.1027 Expanding Vistas of Mongolia-Russia Strategic Partnership since 2000 Ulaanbaatar Declaration Vaishali Krishna Currently ICSSR Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Centre for Inner Asian Studies, School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Introduction n September 7, 2017, while meeting with the Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum Oheld in Vladivostok, the Mongolian President Khaltmagiin Battulga made it amply clear that his priority now is “to promote the advancement of Mongolia-Russia relations, including economic cooperation, to a new level .”1 This is no surprise given that Battulga matched his July 2017 presidential election campaign hostility toward 2 China with a pro-Russia platform . On further contemplation, however, one can identify three main driving forces behind Mongolia-Russia expanding partnership: “First, in contrast to former Soviet Bloc states in Europe that have been moving closer to the EU in recent years, Mongolia has spent the last decade actively strengthening its ties with Russia across a range of sectors . Second, cooperation between the two states is developing for Mongolia in ways that allow it more room for manoeuvre within its largely confining regional geographic position. 1 President of Russia, “Meeting with President of Mongolia Khaltmaagiin Battulga”, 7 September 2017, http://en .kremlin .ru/events/president/news/55551(accessed 28 October 2017) . 2 Sharad K Soni (2017), “Mongolia’s new president is Mongolia first and China last”, East Asia Forum, 11 August, http://www .eastasiaforum .org/2017/08/11/mongolias-new-president-is- mongolia-first-and-china-last/#more-81340 (accessed 28 October 2017) .

  • Mongolia: a Guide to Economic and Political Developments
    Mongolia Mongolia has followed a highly distinctive path of economic and political trans- ition compared with the other countries in this series. China, North Korea and Vietnam are still communist in a political sense and have adopted (to varying degrees) a more gradual economic reform process than Mongolia, which rapidly moved to political democracy and a market economy. In addition, Mongolia, in a sensitive geopolitical position between Russia and China, is a country rich in minerals eagerly sought by rapidly growing China in particular. This book pro- vides a comprehensive account of political and economic events in Mongolia, with particular emphasis given to events since the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. It covers the important topics in Mongolia’s recent development, including the political reform process and the economic reform process, including the transition to a market economic system, the role of the private sector, foreign aid, trade and investment, agriculture and economic performance (with due regard to climatic problems). Overall, this book provides a comprehensive account of economic and political developments in Mongolia, and is an important resource for anyone seeking to understand this country’s affairs.

Context In 2006, Mongolia is celebrating 800 years of statehood, since it was in 1206 that Genghis Khan united the Mongolian tribes and founded a unified Mongolian state. Canada and Mongolia are similar in terms of climate, geography and vast mineral resources. In 1991, Mongolia became the only formerly communist country in Asia to make a peaceful transition to a pluralistic democracy. While Canada has one major power as a neighbour, Mongolia finds itself surrounded by two major powers, Russia and China. There are currently 25 Canadian mining companies operating in Mongolia making Canada the largest investor in the resources sector in Mongolia and the second largest investor in Mongolia as a whole after China. While Mongolia has an Embassy in Ottawa and a number of honorary consuls in Canadian cities, Canada does not have an Embassy in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia.
