Thanks to the effective work of UCLG’s leadership and support of its members, this organization has grown and expanded its geography. We have succeeded in achieving recognition of UCLG as the world’s key actor in engagement with local governments. Now UCLG is a global network supported by hundreds of authoritative partners worldwide. This means that we are ready to take concrete actions that will benefit concrete cities and concrete people. I am truly honored to declare my candidacy for UCLG Presidency for the period of 2019-2022. I hope I will receive your most precious support in this dignified pursuit, in order to serve you for the next three years.

  • Comparative Ethnic Regional Autonomy in China and Russia
    WRESTLING WITH THE CENTRAL STATE: COMPARATIVE ETHNIC REGIONAL AUTONOMY IN CHINA AND RUSSIA by Sansar Tsakhirmaa (Sier San) A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2018 © Sansar Tsakhirmaa (Sier San) 2018 All Rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation compares ethnically-based identity politics in two constitutionally- defined multi-ethnic states, China and Russia, by focusing upon one type of prescriptive institution, territorially-based formal autonomy designated at the sub-national levels for ethnic minorities. Intriguingly, some of these ethno-regions have been more capable of actually exercising the formally promulgated autonomy than others. What can explain the variations across different ethno-regions in terms of implemented autonomy outcome? This dissertation develops an analytical framework that consists of a response variable, an ethno-region’s implemented autonomy outcome, an explanatory variable, an ethno- region’s inter-ethnic boundary-makings, an intervening variable, titular elites’ bargaining capacity, and two condition variables, formal arrangements of center-periphery relations and party-state relations. An ethno-region’s implemented autonomy outcome is assessed in terms of compliance with the corresponding autonomy-establishing legal document(s) on three dimensions, political participation, economic development, and cultural promotion among the ethno-region’s titular ethnic population.
