COUNTRY PROFILE Mongolia is a landlocked country bordered by Russia to the north and China to the east, south and west. With an area of more than 1.5 million square kilometres (the world’s 19th largest country) and a population of approximately three million people, Mongolia has one of the lowest population densities in the world. The landscape has several distinct geographical features, including forest mountain ranges to the north, desert and low mountain areas to the south, high mountain ranges to the west and vast plains to the east. The climate is continental with hot summers and very cold winters. Mongolia’s population is relatively homogenous in terms of ethnicity, language and religion. Its population is also relatively young with more than 60 per cent below the age of 30. Approximately 60 per cent of Mongolia’s population lives in Ulaanbaatar (the capital city), Darkhan (an industrial centre in the north, near the Russian border) and Erdenet (a city around a large copper mine). The remainder of the population comprises mainly nomadic livestock herders. Mongolia has had a significant impact on world history. The Hun, Turk and Mongol empires originated from this region, with the latter controlling most of Asia and parts of Europe in the 12th and 13th centuries. Economic overview Mongolia’s GDP in 2014 was just over US$12 billion.1 The mining sector is integral to the Mongolian economy, which accounts for 18 per cent of GDP, 68 per cent of industrial output and 81 per cent of export earnings.2 Agriculture is a big contributor to the economy and accounts for 30 per cent of GDP, 35 per cent of the labour force and 7 per cent of export income.3 From 2011 to 2013, Mongolia’s economy weathered many shocks to become one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Mongolia achieved GDP growth of 17.5 per cent in 2011, 12.3 per cent in 2012 and 11.6 per cent in 2013.4 This success was largely based on the investment in and development of the US$6 billion Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold project and increased earnings from mineral exports.

The politics of Mongolia takes place in a framework of a semi- presidential representative democratic republic, and of a multi- Copyright © 2015, Oyu Tolgoi party system. Executive power is exercised by the Government. Legislative power is vested in both the Government and Parliament. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. Members of the State Great Hural (parliament) and the President are both elected for fixed four-year terms (on different electoral cycles). The Prime Minister is nominated by, and serves on behalf of, the majority party in the Parliament. The Cabinet is appointed by the Prime Minister, subject to State Great Hural’s approval. The President is the Commander-in- Chief and holds the power to veto legislation, although this can be overridden by a two-thirds majority in Parliament. There are two major political parties: the Mongolian People’s Party (MPP), which evolved from the communist single-party government, and the Democratic Party (DP), which grew out of Mongolia’s 1990 democracy movement. The next election is expected to be held in June 2016. Legal framework The Mongolian legal system is based on the Roman-German (continental) legal system. The principal legal act is the Constitution. The provisions of the Constitution, the laws corresponding to it, other regulatory acts, international treaties and other commitments of Mongolia, as well as regulatory resolutions of Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court, comprise the functioning law in Mongolia. The Constitution empowered a Judicial General Council (JGC) to select all judges and protect their rights.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE ABOUT RESOURCE NATIONALISM?: THE CASE OF OYU TOLGOI Batkhuu Dashnyam* Foreign mining is as important now as ever. As the global population has continued to increase, so has the demand for natural resources. Developing countries richly endowed with natural resources have begun to realize that harnessing them presents a rare opportunity to fuel broader socioeconomic change and may, potentially, catalyze wholesale transformation.1 In this vein, countries have begun to increase their taxes and royalties on mining;2 and, to a greater extent, a “more indirect or insidious form of government intervention referred to as ‘creeping expropriation’”3 has begun to appear, whereby a “foreign investor is substantially deprived of the use or benefit of their investment even though formal title may continue to vest.”4 This emerging tension is encapsulated in what is known as “resource nationalism.” In essence, resource nationalism broadly refers to governmental “dissatisfaction about the distribution of revenues from mining between company shareholders and the host nation.”5 Even after agreeing with foreign investors about the rights, royalties, taxes, and terms for a mining project, governments subsequently will attempt to renegotiate or even possibly breach their bargain in an effort to extract more control and * Batkhuu Dashnyam is a member of the Class of 2018, at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.

  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Transport plays a crucial role in the efficient functioning of the domestic economy as well as development of international trade due to dependence on both coal-based energy production and imports. However, the issues in the transport sector of Mongolia are mainly derived from the salient features of a landlocked country with a low population and a long distance between population centers. A major characteristics of transportation in Mongolia is the collection and distribution by road of both passenger traffic and cargo transport from the north-south transport axis centering on Ulaanbaatar. The main north-south axis comprises both rail and road. Within road transport, the density of arterial road network remains very low and unpaved earth roads or multiple shifting tracks occupy a large portion of arterial roads. More than 30% of population and a half of national car ownership are concentrated in Ulaanbaatar City, while very low level of mobility is found in rural area because non-motorized traffic such as horse and cart prevails. Recently, such gap of mobility level is increasing. Under such circumstances, in response to the request of the Government of Mongolia (hereinafter referred to as "GOM"), the Government of Japan decided to conduct the Feasibility Study on Construction of Eastern Arterial Road in Mongolia (hereinafter referred to as "the Study"), in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations in force in Japan. Japan International Cooperation Agency (hereinafter referred to as "JICA"), the official agency responsible for the implementation of the technical cooperation programs of the Government of Japan, dispatched the preparatory study team headed by Mr.

  • Narrative Report on Study Tour of Mongolian Delegates to Jaipur
    A Study Tour of Municipal Government Official from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia to Jaipur, India Organised by CUTS International With the support of The Asia Foundation, India December 08-10, 2015 Introduction Mongolia is a landlocked country in east-central Asia. It is bordered by Russia to the north and China to the south, east and west. While they do not share a border, Mongolia is separated from Kazakhstan by only 36.76 kilometres (22.84 mi). Ulaanbaatar, the capital and largest city, is home to about 45 percent of the population. Mongolia is divided into 21 provinces (aimags), which are in turn divided into 329 districts (sums). The capital Ulaanbaatar is administrated separately as a capital city (municipality) with provincial status. Thus being a federal municipality, the city is not part of any province. Ulaanbaatar is divided into nine districts: Baganuur, Bagakhangai, Bayangol, Bayanzürkh, Chingeltei, Khan Uul, Nalaikh, Songino Khairkhan, and Sükhbaatar. Each district is subdivided into Khoroos, of which there are 121. The capital and provinces have Citizens’ Representative Meeting (Local parliament) elected every 4 years. Governors exercise executive power in the capital and provinces and are appointed by the Prime Minister as recommended by Citizens’ Representative Meetings. Local administrations provide support for Governors. CUTS International with the support of The Asia Foundation (TAF) organised a three- day study tour for the Municipal Officials from the city of Ulaanbaatar of Mongolia. A 15- member delegation along with two representatives from TAF India visited Jaipur from December 07-11, 2015. 1 Objective The purpose of the study tour was to enhance capacities of the government officials with respect to informed decision making, community participation and implementation of activities for service improvement in their respective areas through exposure to relevant areas in India.

Capacity Development Project for Air Pollution Control in Ulaanbaatar City Phase 2 in Mongolia Technical Manual 06 PM10 and PM2.5 Measurement and PM Composition Analysis Manual Introduction In this project JICA Experts have planned filter sampling of PM10 and PM2.5 of the ambient air at some sites in every season and analyze the components of the samples. JICA Experts will use the result for identification of PM sources throughout the year including winter season when the air pollution is severe and achieve information which will be useful for the policy making. Samplings and composition analysis of 120 points in total are scheduled in 3 years from 2014 to 2016. Considering the matters of power source and security, sampling points were selected from 10 local monitoring stations (6 stations of CLEM and 4 stations of APRD (AQDCC)) in UB City. And JICA Expert Team also used one local residence in northern gel area, Chingeltei from December 2014. Mass concentration of PM10 and PM2.5 is calculated by comparing the mass weight of sampled filter from before to after sampling. Major chemical compositions of PM are various elements, carbon components, and water soluble ionic species. However, analysis instruments were not in Mongolian country, above samples of filter on which PM was collected were used for composition analysis in Japan.
