  • Part I Master Plan
    PART I MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION I MASTER PLAN PART I MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study In Mongolia some 50% of the total population of about 2.4 million are nomadic families. For the nomadic families Sum centers are key places for supplying their vital goods, and also for receiving public services such as administration, medical care, education, etc. As of November 1997, the electric power at 117 out of 314 Sum centers in total in Mongolia is being supplied from the national power transmission network. At the remaining 197 Sum centers, the electric power is supplied by the diesel engine generators by Sum center independently. Most of these diesels generating facilities were manufactured during the former Soviet Union era and installed long ago from 1963 to 1990. During the Social Republic era of the country, Mongolia depended on the Soviet Union for the supply of spare parts necessary for maintenance of the generating equipment and technical guidance. Due to the corruption of the Soviet Union's economy in 1991 and associated transition to a market economy, the following four factors caused troubles to the operation and maintenance of the Sum's generating facilities, i.e. (1) the lack of business operating senses, (2) the interruption of spare parts supply, (3) the lack of technical capability and (4) shortage of management budget. The operation of much equipment has been obliged to be kept stopped after failure, as operators cannot repair them. The affected generation quantity, and aggravated the conditions of daily lives of people in Sum center and caused serious effects to the socio-economic activities of the Sum centers.

  • Asian Literature and Translation Yeke Caaji, the Mongol-Oyirod Great

While the resulting document is reasonably well known among scholars of Central Asia, it is the position of this work that its purpose has been largely misunderstood and that modern descriptions of early seventeenth century Oyirod history are confused and incomplete. This current work endeavors to establish a better understanding of the motivations behind the Great Code of 1640 and what the participants hoped to gain by its adoption. It does so through a close examination of the text itself and other original Oyirod sources and an analysis of competing secondary narratives. This creates the opportunity to reconsider the document from new and more carefully articulated perspectives. The result is an appreciation of the Great Code as an important document in Mongolian history. Through this perspective we can see the document as a sign of waning Chinggisid authority and recognition that innovation in state formation was needed to enable the continued existence of the Mongol and Oyirod states.

    Nine Dragon Heads 19th. Aug ~ 9th. Sept. 2013 Nomadic Party GER to GER Organization Boards Annelise Zwez Bruce Allan Denizhan Ozer Gabriel Adams Jessy Rahman Nandin Erdene. B Park Byoung-Uk Paul Donker Duyvis Susanne Muller Staff Goo So-Young Jeong Ji-Yoon Song-Wha 1 Nine Dragon Heads aspires to generate positive environmental and spiritual legacies for the future. This is in a context where humankind benefits from manipulating and dominating its natural surroundings; regarding the natural environment as a target and challenge for conquest, a test of its ability to transform and possess nature. Our desire and ingenuity to exploit and develop the natural environment through domination and control implies superiority. Reflecting on the history of the planet however, many species of all forms became extinct when the friendly environmental conditions that firstly nurtured their birth later changed and became hostile. The question of when will humankind disappear hangs over us. No matter how 'special' we Homo Sapiens think we may be, we have to realise we are a part of the greater natural world and the product of a unique environment that supports our life. How can we lead a life with understanding and respect for the world of nature? How can we maintain a life peacefully and fairly for the survival of mankind? Nine Dragon Heads changes ‘I’ into ‘we’, a community of artists, who explore and re-consider the relationship and equilibrium between people and the natural environment. Nine Dragon Heads joins with other communities to share their imagination, experience and ideas through creative art practices, to reveal and celebrate both diverse and common consciousness and to further co- operation.

    I HISTORICAL PROLOGUE The Land and the People Demchugdongrob, commonly known as De Wang (Prince De in Chinese), was a thirty-first generation descendant of Chinggis Khan and the last ruler of Mongolia from the altan urag, the Golden Clan of the Chinggisids. The only son of Prince Namjilwang- chug, Demchugdongrob was bom in the Sunid Right Banner of Inner Mongolia in 1902 and died in Hohhot, the capital of the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region, in 1966. The Sunid was one of the tribes that initially supported Chinggis Khan (r. 1206- 1227). In the sixteenth century, Dayan Khan reunified Mongolia and put this tribe under the control of his eldest son, Torubolod. Thereafter, the descendants of Torubolod be­ came the rulers not only of the Sunid but also of the Chahar (Chakhar), Ujumuchin, and Khauchid tribes. The Chahar tribe was always under the direct control of the khan him­ self During the Manchu domination, the Sunid was divided into the Right Flank and Left Flank Banners, and both were part of the group of banners placed under the Shilingol League. During the first half of the seventeenth century, the Manchus expanded to the southern parts of Manchuria and began to compete with the Ming Chinese. Realizing the danger in the rise of the Manchus, Ligdan Khan, the last Mongolian Grand Khan, aban­ doned his people ’s traditional hostility toward the Chinese and formed an alliance with the Ming court to fight the Manchus. Although this policy was prudent, it was unaccept­ able to most Mongolian tribal leaders, who subsequently rebelled and joined the Manchu camp.

New bedrock apatite (U-Th)/He single-grain ages from the Hangay span 23 ~70 to 200 Ma, with a mean of 122.7 ± 24.0 Ma (2σ). Detrital apatite samples from the Selenga 24 and Orkhon Rivers, north of the mountains, yield dominant (U-Th)/He age populations of ~115 25 to 130 Ma, as well as an older population not seen in the Hangay granitic bedrock data. These 26 low-temperature data record regional exhumation of central Mongolia in the Mesozoic followed 27 by limited erosion of <1-2 km since the Cretaceous, ruling out rapid exhumation of this 28 magnitude associated with any late Cenozoic uplift.

  • 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.
