Mongolia in 1997: deepening democracy

Article Abstract:

Mongolia's attainment of democracy and economic reforms continued at a rapid rate in 1997. The period's culmination was reflected in the victory of the presidential candidate of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, Bagabandi, which social analysts interpreted as a form of protest over Prime Minister Enkhsaikhan's rigid economic policies. Mongolia pursued its liberal trade agreements with the rejection of tariffs on imports and exports as new projects in improving the telephone and heating systems were launched. Foreign relations also continued to improve, particularly with Russia and China.

Mongolia in 1996: fighting fire and ice

Article Abstract:

Nineteen ninety-six was a year of both misery and triumph for Mongolia. The country was devastated by a series of fires, flooding and a cholera outbreak which strained its resources and hampered its efforts to move away from a communist economy. One bright development amidst these disasters was the electoral defeat of the ruling Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, which paved the way for a new coalition government. The new government has accelerated economic reform program, inspiring optimism about Mongolia's future.

Political reform in Mongolia: between Russia and China

Article Abstract:

Mongolia's political and economic reforms are characterized by changes similar to that of Russia and China. Unlike other former Soviet Union republics, however, there never was any attempt to unseat the newly-reformed Mongolian government. Political conflict has been resolved through amicable settlement. Similar to China, an influential communist group called the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party has maintained dominant authority in the government.
