Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this chapter from the book 'Mongolia in Transition,' the
authors discuss the post-Soviet era economic and political changes in Mongolia, which began
in 1990. The overnight change from a planned economy to a market economy involved the
privatization of state and collective assets, and price and trade liberalizations. Lack of
banks, adequate transportation, trade opportunities, and foreign aid were among some of the
factors that have made the transition difficult and resulted in a precipitous decline in
the country's economic productivity and living standards. The second part of the chapter
focuses on domestic political developments since 1989, when the opposition party, the
Mongolian Democratic Union, was formed. In the so-called peaceful revolution, parliamentary
elections were held in 1990, a constitution ratified in 1992, followed by a new round of
elections, and a presidential election in 1993. Opposition groups continue to demonstrate
against corruption and put pressure on the still dominant old guard party, the Mongolian
Peoples Revolutionary Party (MPRP). The authors also comment on the revival of Buddhism and
Mongolia's developing relations with China.
