Linksammlung Mongolistik Linksammlung Mongolistik (zusammengestellt von Prof. M. Weiers) Links für die Mongolistik gibt es in großer Anzahl, doch sind keineswegs alle empfehlens- wert. Die nachstehende Sammlung strebt deswegen nicht nach Vollständigkeit, sondern beab- sichtigt, brauchbare Links aufzulisten. Die ausgewählten Links verweisen intern jeweils auf je verschiedene eigene Themenbereiche, oder bieten die Möglichkeit, nach verschiedenen The- menbereichen zu suchen. Es erübrigt sich somit, hier für den Zugriff auf Einzelthemen eine Linksammlung aufzuführen, welche die Themen mehr differenziert, als unten ausgeführt. Darüber hinaus verweisen die hier angegebenen Links auch immer wieder auf zahlreiche wei- tere Links, auf die dann unmittelbar zugegriffen werden kann. Die hier vorgelegte Linksamm- lung für die Mongolistik versteht sich somit als weitmaschiger Überblick, der es dem Benut- zer ermöglichen soll, sich innerhalb der einzelnen Links je nach Option über einzelne Berei- che detailliert weiter zu informieren, oder weitere Links und deren Angebot anzuwählen. Hauptgewicht wurde bei der vorliegenden Linksammlung auf den Themenbereich Geschichte gelegt. Ein Stichwortverzeichnis am Schluss mag die Suche erleichtern.

  • January 14, 2016 Investment Treaties Between Mongolia and EU States
    January 14, 2016 Investment Treaties Between Mongolia and EU states: Implications for Mongolia‘s Development Prospects. Sanchir Jargalsaikhan Abstract This paper considers the politics of Mongolia’s neoliberal transition from socialism and role of international investment and trade treaties in shaping today’s Mongolia. It is not intended to provide a full account of domestic reforms in Mongolia – but instead is conceived as providing an understanding of the domestic context of how extractive sector came to be perceived as the lone driver of country’s development, as well as international forces (investment and trade treaties) that helped shape country’s mining and investment policy frameworks. Under this context this paper will examine the economic treaties related to trade, investment and taxation concluded between EU member states with Mongolia as well as investment trends of European development banks like the EBRD. Keywords: Mongolia, BITs, ISDS, Shock Therapy, Investment Law 1. TRANSITION TO MARKET ECONOMY At first glance, Mongolia's recent economic boom1 contrasts abruptly with the country's thorny transition in the early 1990s. Mongolia has been often described as a success story of democratization – a bastion of democracy amidst authoritarian regimes. Right wing think tanks continue to label its political and economic system as ‘free’.2 However, these ratings and pronouncements hide fundamental issues of a country with weak institutions, economically dependent on export of natural resources. Because of its low state capacity and economic underdevelopment, Mongolia is subject to full force of globalization – both cultural and economic. After 70 years of communist party rule Mongolia along with many post socialist countries embarked on a journey to democratize its rigid, centralized political system.

    II DEMCHUGDONGROB’S EARLY YEARS 1902-1919 His Birth The sixty-four years of the life of Prince Demchugdongrob saw the devastation of two world wars. Invasion of Asia by imperialists was gradually checked by the rise of nationalism. Japan’s victory in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 restored Asian self- confidence. But this victory also created strife within. The founding of the Republic of China in 1912, which ended monarchical rule, and the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 marked the beginning of a new era. The Mongols, roused by these great changes, strug­ gled to establish their own national identity. By the conclusion of World War 11, half of the Mongol people had achieved their independence, at least nominally, but the other half faced harsh and rigoroustrials. Prince Demchugdongrob, bom to a highly prestigious Chinggisid family, for a time assumed the position of national leader, but died in the custody of the Chinese Communists. His heroic but tragic life was entwined with the fate of his fellow country­ men, especially those Inner Mongols who struggled for the existence of their nation. Although his full name was Demchugdongrob, most Mongol people called him De noyan or De wangye, a polite form of address for an honorable person. In Mongolian tradition, it was not polite to speak the full name of an elder or a person of honorable position. It was courteous to take the first syllable of his name and join it with his title. Therefore, De noyan means De the noble and De wangye means Prince De. According to the traditional Mongolian lunar calendar, Demchugdongrob was bom on the day, month, and year of the tiger.

  • Why Does Policy Fail in Mongolia?
    A “LET’S CHANGE IT” SYNDROME – WHY DOES POLICY FAIL IN MONGOLIA? Jargalsaikhany Mendee, Ph.D. Candidate, University of British Columbia Abstract This article discusses policy failures in Mongolia by describing examples of mining policies that have not been successful. After policy failures, politicians in Mongolia often engage in the “blame game”. They have provided four explanations for policy failures in mining: geopolitical interests of major powers; the dynamics of global commodity markets; private business interests; and civil society activities. These explanations are also found in other new democracies with market economies. However, this article introduces the ‘let’s change it’ syndrome, which is the tendency to change policies without critical reviews and proper implementation processes. The “lets change it” syndrome increases mistrust among all actors, including policy makers, and creates a ‘vicious cycle’ of cheating and competition within the bargaining dynamics. Unless Mongolian politicians exert political will and courage to uphold the rule of law and to strengthen the proper institutional capacities of policymaking, mining and other government policies will continue to fail. Introduction This article asks a question: “Why have many policies failed in Mongolia?”, with a focus on mining policies. The question is worthwhile to examine not only because Mongolia is in the radar of foreign investors, but also because the Mongolian case is not unique among other developing democracies. Since its political and economic transitions in the 1990s, Mongolia has been led by two major political parties – the former Communist party, the Mongolian People’s Party (MPP), and the Democratic Party (DP), either alone or in coalition.

  • 2015 Fly Fish Mongolia Journal Michael Caranci
    2015 Fly Fish Mongolia Journal Michael Caranci Thursday, June 11 The long travel day started early, awake at 3:30 am to get to the airport for my 5:40 am departure. The flight from Redding to SFO went smoothly, and by 7:30 am I was sitting down to a hot Yankee Pier breakfast and much needed cup of coffee. I had about 4 hours of layover, so wandered around the airport for a bit before finding my gate in the International terminal, where Larry was already waiting. We chatted for a bit, then found Bob and Cord, and before long we were all boarding the plane for the next leg of the journey. The plane was full, but for a 12 hour flight it wasn't too horrible. Fortunately I had a slender Korean girl sitting in the middle seat next to me, so actually room to breathe. They fed us a couple of times, normal airplane food not tragic but not great either. Sustenance at least. I napped for about an hour, but that was it and spent the rest of the time reading up on the history, culture, and politics of Mongolia. I have to admit that this trip just kind of happened, and Mongolia was never a place high on my angling radar. Sure, I’d heard about it, read about it, and the idea of catching a monster taimen was appealing. I knew that taimen were the largest salmonid on Earth, an ancient, slow-growing fish that lived up to 35 years or more and were the dominant predators in their ecosystem.

  • Gold Resources in Mongolia
    資源地質，66(2), 89 ～94, 2016 特集：モンゴルの鉱物資源 資源情報 Gold resources in Mongolia by S. JARGALAN* Abstract: Mongolia has considerable reserves and resources of gold in both placer and primary deposits. Gold has been mined in the country since ancient times, but recently it plays main role on country’s mining activity as well as economic development. Placer gold deposits are studied much and most of them are now under mining activity. Pri- mary gold deposits are studied weakly and only Boroo gold deposit is mined and other deposits are under development study level. Distribution of gold deposits and occurrences depends on mineralization type, but generally shows linear form along the independent geotectonic units, or bigger fault zone. The data of various geological reports of gold metallogenic and gold bearing belts of Mongolia suggest that there are 17 belts containing total amount of 2,100 tons of gold. 1.

  • Pastoral Peoples on the Global Stage the Mongol Moment 1200–1500
    chapter twelve Pastoral Peoples on the Global Stage The Mongol Moment 1200–1500 In 1937, the great Mongol warrior Chinggis Khan lost his soul, some seven centuries after his death. According to Mongol tradition, a warrior’s soul was contained in his spirit banner, consisting of strands of hair from his best horses attached to a spear. For many centuries, Chinggis Khan’s spirit banner had been 1 housed in a Buddhist monastery in central Mongolia, where lamas (religious teachers) had tended it. But in the 1930s, Mongolia, then under communist control and heavily dominated by Stalin’s Soviet Union, launched a brutal anti- religious campaign that destroyed many monasteries and executed some 2,000 monks. In the confusion that ensued, Chinggis Khan’s spirit banner, and thus his soul, disappeared. By the end of the twentieth century, as communism faded away, the memory of Chinggis Khan, if not his spirit banner, made a remarkable comeback in the land of his birth. Vodka, cigarettes, a chocolate bar, two brands of beer, the country’s best rock band, and the central square of the capital city all bore his name, while his picture appeared on Mongolia’s stamps and money. Rural young people on horseback sang songs in his honor, and their counterparts in urban Internet cafés constructed Web sites to celebrate his achievements. The country organized elaborate celebrations in 2006 to mark the 800th anniversary of his founding of the Mongol Empire. All of this is a reminder of the enormous and surprising role that the Mongols played in the Eurasian world of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and of the continuing echoes of that long- vanished empire.

These representations have also impacted the types of sounds most often used to musically represent Tibet in the United States in unexpected ways. This study begins with the question, “What is Tibetan music in the United States?” It then examines Tibetan music in the United States from a historical, political, spiritual and economic perspective to answer that question. As part of this investigation, historical sources, marketing sources, New Age religion, the New York Times, and over one hundred recordings are examined. This work also applies marketing theory to demonstrate that “Tibet” has become a term in American culture that acts as a brand and is used to sell music and other products.

  • Study on the Administrative Divisions in China's Border Areas from the Perspective of Nation-State Building
    Asian Social Science; Vol. 14, No. 6; 2018 ISSN 1911-2017 E-ISSN 1911-2025 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Study on the Administrative Divisions in China’s Border Areas from the Perspective of Nation-state Building --- Changes to the Administrative Divisions in Inner Mongolia in the 20th Century Sun Jing1 1 School of Literature, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China Correspondence: Sun Jing, No. 6 Students Dormitory, Shipai Campus, Jinan University, Tianhe District, Guangzhou, China. E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 1, 2018 Accepted: April 24, 2018 Online Published: May 28, 2018 doi:10.5539/ass.v14n6p98 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ass.v14n6p98 Abstract From the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, when Inner Mongolia was still a special administrative region of the Qing Empire, the Mongolian nomad's territory went through numerous significant changes. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the administrative divisions in Inner Mongolia underwent three major changes and after continuous integration they were incorporated into the administrative territory of the People's Republic of China in a manner that was compatible with the behavior of a modern nation-state. Such changes can neither be ascribed to the natural process of national development and it’s accompanying fissions nor to the sinocization of Inner Mongolian initiated by Han migrants. Instead, it is derived from the game of power played in the region by various forces, from the Manchu and Han peoples, to the Mongolians, Russians and Japanese, and the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party in the period of surging modern nationalism.
