Until 1990, the only legal political party in Mongolia was the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP), which was a Communist Party. Things changed when an amendment to the constitution allowed for oppositional political parties. Another part of the amendment allowed for a government run by a president and the institution of the Small Hural, which had 53 members.

The attendance rate for secondary school was much lower at a little over 50% of the population attending. Institutions of higher learning had almost 40,000 attendees. The Mongols gained fame in the 13th century when under Chinggis KHAAN they established a huge Eurasian empire through conquest. After his death the empire was divided into several powerful Mongol states, but these broke apart in the 14th century. The Mongols eventually retired to their original steppe homelands and in the late 17th century came under Chinese rule. Mongolia won its independence in 1921 with Soviet backing...

...EXERCISE #2 Doing Business with Mongolia Pulvera, Michael V. ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT Over the past 20 years, Mongolia has transformed into a vibrant multiparty democracy with a booming economy. Mongolia is at the threshold of a major transformation driven by the exploitation of its vast mineral resources and the share of mining in GDP today stands at 20 percent, twice the ratio of a decade ago. The Mongolian economy is facing challenges from persistent economic imbalances. Economic growth slowed to 3.0 percent in the first half of 2015 amid declining exports from a continued weakening of the commodity market and slower growth in the key export market of China. Mongolia’s annual GDP growth is expected to slow to 2.3 percent for all of 2015. Poverty has been on a downward trend over the past decade. Most recently, Mongolia’s poverty rate declined from 27.4 percent in 2012 to 21.6 percent in 2014, although many remain near the poverty line. Substantial progress has also been made in regard to several Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) at the national level, though significant regional disparities prevail. To ensure sustainable and inclusive growth, Mongolia will need to strengthen institutional capacity to manage public revenues efficiently and limit the effects of Dutch Disease; allocate its resources effectively among spending, investing, and saving; reduce poverty; and offer equal opportunities to all its citizens in urban and rural areas. It needs to do this...

...55 Mongolia: The Water Situation in Ulaanbaatar Mongolia: The Water Situation in Ulaanbaatar Hiroshi Sato* I. Introduction To many, Mongolia is a country of steppes and desert. Geographically, the country can be divided into three main regions: north, central and south. These regions vary greatly in terms of terrain, climate and other natural elements. The west of northern Mongolia is a wooded region covered in Siberian taiga forest. Meanwhile, the central region is home to Mongolia’s vast, characteristic steppes, and southern Mongolia is full of desert steppes. In 1990, Mongolia abandoned socialism and its one-party rule as the People’s Revolutionary Party introduced a multiple party system with influence from the Soviet perestroika movement. Then in 1992, the constitution was amended and the nation of Mongolia was born. Through these reforms, Mongolia ushered in a new democracy and transitioned from a planned economy to a market economy. As the economy flourished following the transition, a number of issues came to the surface. Of the issues raised, environmental issues are a major one in Mongolia. Currently, the impacts of domestic economic stimulation and problems such as recent global warming on the environment can be seen everywhere. Mongolia’s environmental problems are wide-ranging; air pollution, waste management, water pollution, overcentralization in the capital, energy issues, water resources, and urban environmental issues are but a few of...

...Control Policy in China PART 1. My first statement containing rant and emotion. My View of Birth Control Policy in China One thing makes me furious is the birth control policy in China. One family one child is a bit of thick. True, it’s an effective way to reduce population, but a great number of fetuses were killed before they see the world every year and nobody could tell how many families lost their only child by accidents and no more happiness in the families. The only-child is like a king in the family, parents give him whatever he wants. Over time he thinks everyone should treats him well because he considers to deserve this. So most of the kind of children become very selfish and lonely. Besides, it is such a pressure for those cheapskates to support their old parents, not only on the score of money but time. The more time on parents, the less time on work. No work, no money. How could they support their parents without any money? It’s a paradox! What worse, most of the post-80s don’t know how to care about others, even they don’t know how to care about themselves. The policy is most controlling urban families but not rural ones. Most of the urban families have ability to bring up more than one child and offer a good education, however, they only have one child. In rural area families have at least two children but with low education. Is it the purpose of birth control, to nurture more and more less educated people? PART 2. My “Go Public”. Birth control policy, also...

...A. Geography >China stretches some 5,026 kilometres (3,123 mi) across the East Asian landmass. China is bordered by seas and waters eastward, with the East China Sea, Korea Bay, Yellow Sea, Taiwan Strait, and South China Sea, and bordered by landmasses on its 3 other sides, from North Korea to Vietnam. China has been officially and conveniently divided into 5 homogeneous physical macro-regions: Eastern China (subdivided into the northeast plain, north plain, and southern hills), Xinjiang-Mongolia, and the Tibetan-highlands. Its physical features are multiples. The eastern and southern half of the country, its seacoast fringed with offshore islands, is a region of fertile lowlands and foothills with most of the agricultural output and human population. The western and northern half of China is a region of sunken basins (Gobi, Taklamakan), rolling plateaus, and towering massifs, including a portion of the highest tableland on earth (Tibetan Plateau) with lower agricultural possibilities and thus, far less populated. Traditionally, the Chinese population centered around the Chinese central plain and oriented itself toward its own enormous inland market, developing as an imperial power whose center lay in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River on the northern plains. More recently, the 18,000-kilometers coastline have been used extensively for export-oriented trade, making a power shift, with the coastline provinces becoming the leading economic center. With an...

...I. GLOBALIZATION: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES A. NEW FORCES DRIVING GLOBALIZATION any people consider globalization nothing new – societies have been interconnected for years. But globalization took different forms in the past and the contemporary conjuncture is new.1 The world has never experienced globalization at this level of intensity before or the speed at which it is transforming and integrating societies. There is no single, all-encompassing definition of globalization, notes Sen.2 Instead, it has become a broad heading for a multitude of global interactions, ranging from the expansion of cultural influences across borders to the enlargement of economic and business relations throughout the world. For the economist, globalization is essentially the emergence of a global market. For the historian, it is an epoch dominated by global capitalism. Sociologists see globalization as the celebration of diversity and the convergence of social preferences in matters of lifestyle and social values. To the political scientist, it represents the gradual erosion of State sovereignty. But disciplinespecific studies explain only a part of the phenomenon. From a multidisciplinary angle, globalization may be treated as a phenomenon, a philosophy and a process which affect human beings as profoundly as any previous event.3 Several factors have been responsible for this phenomenon. This study confines its attention to four growthenhancing facets of globalization that have been among its...

...the World Bank (1993) chose to describe them. The following discussion will focus on the development experiences of Southeast Asia that have been considered high-growth economies, as well as East Asia countries. The Southeast Asia economies have been rather successful in applying public policies to realize their chosen developmental objectives, from the viewpoint of better advancing the course of human development, will be identified. II. East and Southeast Asia (ESA) economies • Human Development (HD): As well as being substantially different in the starting level of human development achieved, and although all have made substantial progress over the two decades, these economies show marked differences in the pace of this progress. Being already high-achieving, Japan recorded a modest rate growth of 0.26%, Singapore 0.61% and South Korea 0.92%. This pattern appears to exactly mirror the pattern of difference in their initial. Improvements in other less developed ESA economies are mixed. While China was behind Indonesia and the Philippines in 1990, it overtook them in 2007. Vietnam was behind China at the starting year, while its rate of growth is actually below that of China over the period. Malaysia was ahead of...

...Qing China is commonly viewed by both Chinese and earlier western scholars as a dynasty that had successfully and fully assimilated into Han Culture; they attributed Manchu’s successful rule and Qing dynasty’s prosperous development entirely to the notion of “Sinicization”, under which they explains how Manchu couldn’t help but assimilate into the superior Han civilization of China. However, started from 1980s, American scholars began to take advantage of the newly opened Manchu archive and constructed a new perspective towards the concept of Sinicization by claiming that China was only a part of the larger Manchu Empire and Manchu were intrinsically foreign ruler in China. My final project aims to further reveal Manchu rulers’ Non-Han nature through the lens of government policies and institutional set up in the Qing dynasty. I will mainly examine The civil service examination, the official method for Qing government to recruit administrative officer; the Eight Banner system, a ruling apparatus for the Qing to govern China in a systematic way based on people’s ethnicity, and Qing’s policies and governmental agencies which were responsible for the supervision and administration of outlying regions. Those three policies and agencies derive from them covers wild range of areas in...
