Credit to PM Zandanshatar for giving democratization in #Mongolia another shove, even if it's in the form of a deliberative poll.
https://montsame.mn/mn/read/394343
Even at outset of his prime ministership, distinguished along with frm Pres Elbegdorj for having championed form of democratization.
Ironic that conversation on #SovereignWealthFund may just be getting started as Zandanshatar's time as PM may be ending...

What is #VDem measuring when #Mongolia indices show uptick from 2024 to 2025 and what does it mean, seeing as this uptick propels 🇲🇳 back into ranks of electoral democracies.

Notable uptick across all democracy indices with #VDem for #Mongolia.
Had been puzzled by past steady declines (see https://mongoliafocus.com/2025/12/self-censorship/ for implications), now I fail to be able to point to any factor in past 18 months that should lead to improvement. -
A Ahearn and N Bayarsaikhan raise concerns abt inclusion of voices of herders in pursuit of development of critical minerals in #Mongolia

Have to wonder why #Mongolia govt officials attend Davos WEF meeting. In tumultuous world, is it worth the expense it surely incurs?
As for "events" in Davos, what is PM Zandanshatar doing joining ill-fated "Board of Peace". Hopefully he has not committed to a "initiation fee".

My attempt to summarize political, economic and pop culture events in #Mongolia in 2025.

In recollecting 2008 stand-off w/ Russia over demand to take control of gas station network, frm 🇲🇳 PM S Bayar recounts that he pointed to parliamentary authority in rejecting demand.
[Slightly odd that diabolically-grinning photo with frm Pres Enkhbayar illustrates photo.
I have written abt this episode as instance of #Mongolia active resistance against 🇷🇺 .

So, recall how V Putin went to visit #Mongolia last Sept and was not arrested despite outstanding ICC warrant? At the time, I argued that the Mongolian government didn't really have a choice. Before you think of new PM Zandanshatar recall that.
For TIME, I summarized Putin's visit as, "Turning up in September was Putin showing the rest of the world his middle finger". Pardon the image.

HH #DalaiLama congratulates G Zandanshatar on becoming #Mongolia prime minister.
"The Dalai Lama has also expressed admiration for the impressive progress Mongolia has made over the years in all spheres of life, adding they are all the more meaningful when they really improve the lives of poor and needy Mongolians."

6 years ago, NRGI's N Dorjdari relied on Resource Governance Index to point to need for greater transparency among #Mongolia's state-owned enterprises, esp. Erdenes Mongol.
That transparency is still a work-in-progress today...

St Brown (prof, UOttawa) has analyzed Canadian foreign aid to #Mongolia
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.1080/02255189.2023.2184330 (#openAccess)
Thru his careful analysis, Brown concludes that, "failed partnership with 🇲🇳 highlights disappointments that can arise when donors place own priorities over needs of poor people in developing countries & dilute poverty-fighting missions w/ commercial self-interest."

Inspiriert von der #flop5 Rubrik im Zeit Podcast #dasPolitikteil, habe ich Mal aufgelistet, was mich an Diskussionen über die #Mongolei und die mongolische Politik nervt.
