Thirty years after Mongolia’s democratic revolution: A vicious cycle?
Thirty years after the fall of communism and the transition to democracy in Mongolia, fears of potential democratic backsliding in the country have begun to surface, especially in a region where authoritarian influence looms large. The Mongolian government has failed to address critical issues such as increasing socioeconomic inequality and corruption, while the country’s political processes lack the ability to engage with youth, low-income communities, and other disadvantaged groups.
Presented by Dolgion Aldar, Consultant at the Independent Research Institute of Mongolia
Ms. Dolgion Aldar is a research professional focused on promoting evidence-based policy-making and social cohesion in Mongolia. She is a former CEO and current board member of the Independent Research Institute of Mongolia, one of Mongolia’s preeminent think tanks that promotes independent research and analysis of governance and social issues in the country. She recently completed a fellowship at the National Endowment of Democracy, US to develop a report on strengthening democratic ideals and values as they relate to equality in Mongolia. Dolgion also serves as the Secretary of the Social Indicators Research Committee of the International Sociological Association and a member of the Social Well-Being Research Consortium in Asia.
