Routledge Mongolia in Transition: Old Patterns, New Challenges

Explore the complex evolution of a nation navigating newfound independence. For decades, Mongolia functioned as a buffer state between powerful neighbors. Since 1990, the country has faced the dual task of driving economic growth while restoring its unique Mongolian identity. This book examines the modern republic's journey, looking at how a vast land area and small population create unique vulnerabilities and a reliance on international support. This text serves as a practical resource for those needing clear, accessible information on contemporary Mongolia. Whether you are studying the transition from old patterns to new challenges or looking for insights into the country's current socio-economic landscape, this volume provides a necessary foundation. It is designed to support the work of developers, planners, and consultants who require a reliable overview of the land and its society to understand the modern Mongolian context.
