Summary/Abstract |
Since 1992, Mongolia has sought to embed itself and its neighbors, Russia and China, in regional security arrangements and international law. This strategy can be categorized as preventive diplomacy and involves seeking to create a climate in which conflict will not arise, rather than managing conflict after it has emerged.

Summary/Abstract |
As in 2020, the biggest stories in Mongolia in 2021 and 2022 were elections, COVID-19, and how to cope with the contracting economy. At the end of the year, Mongolia was struggling to meet public health challenges and to recover from the economic downturn. Both the government that was elected in 2020 and the president who took office in 2021 have promised to improve corruption, which is endemic in Mongolia, but people have yet to see much change. Popular dissatisfaction led to a huge public protest in December 2022 that demanded the government ensure more transparency in the coal trade. Thirty years after a peaceful transition to democracy, Mongolia is facing its greatest challenge: how to maintain and develop a transparent democracy that truly cares about public opinion and people’s livelihoods.

Summary/Abstract |
Sandwiched between Russia and China, Mongolia has long been dominated by the two giants that surround it. Indeed, for most of the past four centuries, the choice between its neighbors' influence has been an either-or proposition. With the brief exception of Japan's intervention on the Asian mainland during World War II, there were no external powers that Mongolia could conceivably approach to soften the harsh Russia-China alternative. In recent years, though, the situation has changed dramatically. For the first time in modern history, Mongolia has asserted its sovereign right to engage in numerous bilateral relationships outside the old Russia-China dynamic, focusing on both strategic affairs and economics. In 2013 alone, the nation signed 63 bilateral and international agreements.
