Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse analyse la vie politique intérieure et extérieure, économique et constitutionnelle de la Mongolie depuis sa révolution démocratique. Depuis qu'elle s'est "détachée" politiquement et économiquement de la Russie, ce petit pays mise sur ses richesses naturelles et la Mongolie veut désormais développer sa coopération avec les autres pays et notamment ceux qui ont de l'expérience dans le domaine minier. Les analyses des investissements étrangers directs en Mongolie montrent l'impact de la législation intérieure: lois sur l'exploration et l'exploitation des ressources naturelles, la protection de l'environnement, et le classement stratégique des sites des ressources naturelles... La thèse s’emploie à expliquer les relations actuelles de la Mongolie avec les pays étrangers, et tente de prévoir ce qu'elles seront probablement à l'avenir compte tenu des engagements vis-à-vis des organisations internationales et des accords bilatéraux et multilatéraux. Cette thèse met en perspective le concept de "troisième voisin" dans la politique étrangère de la Mongolie qui partage la frontière avec la Russie au nord et la Chine au sud: la recherche de l’appui d’une tierce puissance, qui est un voisin virtuel (c’est-à-dire sans proximité géographique) partageant les mêmes valeurs démocratiques. En ce sens, la France, l'Allemagne, le Japon, les Etats-Unis, la République de Corée et le Canada sont des troisièmes voisins. Cette thèse tente d'expliquer en détails, les relations bilatérales entre la Mongolie et la France, sa troisième voisine privilégiée. Elle met en lumière les relations humaines, communautaires et territoriales entre la France et la Mongolie qui permettent d'entretenir de bonnes relations à un plus haut niveau indépendamment des problèmes économiques et politiques. Finalement, en tant que toute première thèse sur les relations étrangères mongoles, surtout avec la France, elle vise à servir de base de référence pour ceux qui s'intéressent à la MongolieThis thesis analyzes the internal and external political, economic and constitutional life of Mongolia since its democratic revolution. This small country mainly relies on its natural resources and willing to develop its cooperation with other countries, which have rich experiences in mining. Analyses on foreign direct investment in Mongolia show the impact of domestic legislation: laws on the exploration and exploitation of natural resources, protection of the environment, and strategic ranking of natural resource sites etc. The thesis attempts to explain Mongolia's current relations with foreign countries and tries to predict the future in light of the commitments to international organizations and bilateral and multilateral agreements. This thesis puts into perspective the concept of "third neighbor" in Mongolia's foreign policy: the search for the support of a third power, which is a virtual neighbor (ie without geographical proximity) sharing the same democratic values. Moreover, it tries to explain in detail, the bilateral relations between Mongolia and France, its privileged "third neighbor". It highlights the human and territorial relations between France and Mongolia that allow for good relations at a higher level irrespective of economic and political problems. Finally, as the very first thesis on Mongolian foreign relations, namely with France, it aims to serve as a reference base for those interested in Mongolia

Full textAbstract:
I examine changing herding practices in Xilingol, Inner Mongolia, contrasting
the perspectives of herders with those of local officials and scientists. I also
carried out comparative fieldwork in a similar steppe environment in
Mongolia. I present a model for research which involves exploring multiple
perspectives, including different scales and domains. The model has broad
applicability, but was designed in response to pressing problems involving
human-environmental interactions.
In 1992-1993, from the point of view of many Chinese scientists and policy
makers, traditional Mongol herding in Inner Mongolia was in a state of crisis,
with widespread land degradation and frequent, crippling natural disasters.
Their response involved sweeping changes to what was perceived as an
inefficient and unproductive herding system. Xilingol herders were facing an
additional challenge with the end of communal herding. In Mongolia, herders
were also adjusting to the .end of the collective era. However, political, social
and historical factors had contributed to significantly different development
agendas each side of the Chinese/Mongolian border.
Like the officials and scientists, Xilingol herders recognised the impact of
climatic extremes, environmental change, and the potential to increase their
standard of living. However, their interpretations differed in several crucial
ways. Notably, herders did not perceive the climate as a series of recurrent
natural disasters, but rather as a variable, harsh, but well-understood part of
their normal environment. From their point of view, traditional herding
techniques allowed them to respond to this variability by exploiting
environmental heterogeneity. In contrast, scientists either saw herder methods
as 'backward', or assumed that traditional skills were no longer practised.
I documented a high level of environmental knowledge among herders,
involving identification and careful use of resources at different scales. This
allowed them to provide for their stock during the normal seasonal cycle, and
to respond to more extreme periods. Where their fundamental technique,
movement of stock, was limited, herders were frustrated. They were no longer
able to avoid the worst excesses of climatic extremes, nor move away from
areas where heavy grazing was leading to environmental change. Inner
Mongol herders blamed increasing local populations, associated with Han
immigration, for the loss of land and restrictions on nomadism.
Competing assessments of Mongol herding partly reflect divergent responses
to variability. I explore the influence of scale on interpretations of
heterogeneity and, more generally, argue for the importance of a critical
awareness of scale.

Full textAbstract:
Between 1873 and 1945 Japan and Mongolia had a complex and important relationship that has been largely overlooked in post-war studies of Japan’s imperial era. In fact, Japanese-Mongolian relations in the modern period provide a rich field of enquiry into the nature of Japanese imperialism as well as further evidence of the complexity of Japan’s relationships with other Asian countries in the decades before 1945. This thesis examines the relationship from the Japanese perspective, drawing on a diverse range of contemporary materials, both official and unofficial, including military documents, government reports, travel guides and academic works, many of which have been neglected in earlier studies. In previous analyses, the strategic dimension has been seen as overwhelming and Mongolia has often been regarded as merely a minor addendum to Japan’s relationship with Manchuria. In fact, however, Japan’s connection with Mongolia itself was a crucial part of its interaction with the Chinese continent from the 1870s to 1945. Though undeniably coveted for strategic reasons, Mongolia also offered unparalleled opportunities for the elaboration of all the major aspects of the discourses that made up Japan’s evolving claim to solidarity with and leadership of Asia. It also functioned as a showcase for Japan’s supposedly benevolent intentions towards Asia. In some ways, moreover, the relationship with Mongolia was presented as distinctive, particularly because of the common faith in Buddhism and a supposedly shared ancestry in ethnic terms. In turn, the military, political, ideological and cultural opportunities apparently provided by Mongolia account for the wide range of groups and individuals in Japan that developed Mongolian connections and for the often close relations between these groups and individuals on the one hand, and the most powerful institutions of the Japanese state on the other.

Full textAbstract:
The world experiences large-scale ecosystems degradation in an every part of the planet - in rich as well as in and poor parts. Unstable economic conditions together with weak law enforcements make low income countries face more severe forms of natural destruction. This draws the attention on the need to design economic policies that are environmentally sound and while at the same time ensuring the well-being of their inhabitants in economic, social and natural settings. A number of countries in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia have experienced a unique historical period of transition from communist regimes to free democratic societies. This has been followed by numerous effects on their financial situations as economic hardships caused by the collapse of economies injected by the assistance from the Soviet and committees of socialist countries mutually aiding each other, opening up of opportunities as private ownership and market liberations. Not all countries succeeded in liberalizing their economic structures and reforming economic and political environments. Simultaneously, the natural environment underwent various effects, both positive and negative, after the Iron Curtain fell and exposed destructing effects of command and control economy. Mongolia has experienced all the hard aspects of the transition and started to climb up on the income ladder from the low income to the lower middle-income list of the World Bank, but also seen many negative price aspects of development. Water resources have been severely degraded in recent years due to anthropogenic impact. However, there are reforms taking place in water sector institutions that have recently attracted wide attention nationwide.This thesis will give detailed picture on current state of water resources in the country and the system that coordinates them. The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is used as an approach to highlight the relationship between water resource quality and income per capita in Mongolia. This is followed by a detailed discussion on water institutions development and the coordinating mechanisms badly needed among sectors involved. The research suggests that collaborative actions are important if sustainable water management is to be reached. More generally, I recommend further research issues on the generated topic as my thesis is one of the first discussions coupling the EKC and institutional theory aspects together.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse, qui s’appuie sur plusieurs enquêtes ethnographiques chez les Halh de Mongolie et les Bouriates d’Aga, ainsi que sur des sources écrites en langues mongole, russe et occidentales, porte sur le pastoralisme nomade des peuples mongols. En étudiant la manière dont les éleveurs conçoivent l’agentivité de leurs animaux (chevaux, chameaux, bovins, moutons, chèvres et chiens) et se reposent sur cette dernière, elle montre que l’élevage pastoral, loin d’être réductible à un simple rapport de domination, est un système complexe composé d’interactions multiples entre humains et animaux, qui s’adaptent mutuellement pour faire communauté. À travers une abondante cartographie constituée à partir d’enregistrements GPS, l’analyse des aspects spatiaux de la cohabitation met au jour l’importance de la relation triadique homme-animal-environnement qui participe du maintien de la communauté. Cette communauté multispécifique engage des moyens de communication qui mobilisent les cinq sens et qui révèlent les capacités cognitives des animaux. Les éleveurs exploitent celles-ci dans les situations de coopération homme-animal, où le rôle joué par les animaux est différencié selon leurs caractéristiques individuelles. Malgré les différences environnementales, socio-économiques et politiques des deux terrains d’enquête, la perspective comparative met en lumière des éléments d’un continuum mongol. Les assemblages et équilibres fins à l’œuvre dans les relations interspécifiques révèlent la grande autonomie des animaux, dont les éleveurs attendent qu’ils jouent un rôle actif dans les tâches pastoralesThis thesis, based on several ethnographic surveys among Halh Mongols and Aga Buryats (Russia), as well as written sources in Mongolian, Russian and Western languages, addresses the nomadic pastoralism among the Mongols. By studying the way herders conceive the agency of their animals (horses, camel, cattle, sheep, goats and dogs) and rely on it, it is shown that animal husbandry, far from being reducible to a mere relation of domination, is a complex system made of multiple interactions between humans and animals, who mutually adapt to each other to build community. Through an abundant cartography based on GPS records, the analysis of the spatial features of cohabitation brings to light the importance of the triadic human-animal-environment relation which contributes to maintaining the community. This multispecies community engages means of communication which mobilize the five senses and reveal the animals’ cognitive capacities. Herders build on those in situation of human-animal cooperation, in which the role played by the animals is differentiated depending on their individual characteristics. Despite the environmental, socio-economic and political differences between the two fields, the comparative perspective highlights elements of a Mongol continuum. The assemblages and delicate balances prevailing in the interspecific relations reveal the large autonomy of animals, which are expected by herders to play an active role in pastoral tasks

Full textAbstract:
Fiscal federalism has been an important topic among public finance theorists in the last four decades. There is a series of arguments that decentralization of governments enhances growth by improving allocation efficiency. However, the empirical studies have shown mixed results for industrialized and developing countries and some of them have demonstrated that there might be a threshold level of economic development below which decentralization is not effective. Developing and transition countries have developed a variety of forms of fiscal decentralization as a possible strategy to achieve effective and efficient governmental structures. A generalized principle of decentralization due to the country specific circumstances does not exist. Therefore, decentralization has taken place in different forms in various countries at different times, and even exactly the same extent of decentralization may have had different impacts under different conditions.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the current state of the fiscal decentralization in Mongolia and to develop policy recommendations for the efficient and effective intergovernmental fiscal relations system for Mongolia. Within this perspective the analysis concentrates on the scope and structure of the public sector, the expenditure and revenue assignment as well as on the design of the intergovernmental transfer and sub-national borrowing. The study is based on data for twenty-one provinces and the capital city of Mongolia for the period from 2000 to 2009.
As a former socialist country Mongolia has had a highly centralized governmental sector. The result of the analysis below revealed that the Mongolia has introduced a number of decentralization measures, which followed a top down approach and were slowly implemented without any integrated decentralization strategy in the last decade. As a result Mongolia became de-concentrated state with fiscal centralization. The revenue assignment is lacking a very important element, for instance significant revenue autonomy given to sub-national governments, which is vital for the efficient service delivery at the local level. According to the current assignments of the expenditure and revenue responsibilities most of the provinces are unable to provide a certain national standard of public goods supply. Hence, intergovernmental transfers from the central jurisdiction to the sub-national jurisdictions play an important role for the equalization of the vertical and horizontal imbalances in Mongolia. The critical problem associated with intergovernmental transfers is that there is not a stable, predictable and transparent system of transfer allocation. The amount of transfers to sub-national governments is determined largely by political decisions on ad hoc basis and disregards local differences in needs and fiscal capacity. Thus a fiscal equalization system based on the fiscal needs of the provinces should be implemented. The equalization transfers will at least partly offset the regional disparities in revenues and enable the sub-national governments to provide a national minimum standard of local public goods.Der Fiskalische Föderalismus ist in den letzten vier Dekaden eines der wichtigsten Themen der finanzwissenschaftlichen Theorie. Dabei wird häufig argumentiert, dass eine Dezentralisierung der öffentlichen Aufgaben nicht nur die Wachstumschancen eines Landes erhöhen kann, sondern darüber hinaus auch der Allokationseffizienz förderlich ist. Allerdings zeigen empirische Untersuchungen für die Industrie- und Entwicklungsländern keine einheitlichen Ergebnisse; es wird aber deutlich, dass es einen Schwellenwert in Bezug auf den Entwicklungsstand gibt, unterhalb dessen eine Dezentralisierung erst wirksam wird. So haben einige Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländer eine Vielzahl von Formen der steuerlichen Dezentralisierung als eine mögliche Strategie gewählt, um wirksame und effiziente dezentrale staatliche Strukturen zu entwickeln, wobei es einen allgemeinen Lösungsansatz hinsichtlich der Dezentralisierung allerdings nicht gibt. Vielmehr sind die besonderen kulturellen, wirtschaftlichen und geografischen Bedingungen des einzelnen Landes in angemessener Weise zu berücksichtigen. Die gefundenen Lösungen weisen daher eine relativ große Variationsbreite auf. Ziel dieser Studie ist es, den aktuellen Stand der steuerlichen Dezentralisierung in der Mongolei zu untersuchen und Empfehlungen für ein effizientes und effektives System der zwischenstaatlichen Finanzbeziehungen in der Mongolei zu entwickeln. Dabei konzentriert sich die Analyse auf Umfang und Struktur des öffentlichen Sektors, also die Aufgaben und Ausgaben sowie die öffentlichen Einnahmen. Außerdem wird auf die Zuordnung von Aufgaben und Einnahmen sowie auf die Gestaltung der zwischenstaatlichen Transfer und die subnationale Kreditaufnahme eingegangen. Die Studie basiert auf Daten der zwanzig Provinzen und der Hauptstadt der Mongolei für den Zeitraum 2000 bis 2009. Als ehemals sozialistisches Land verfügt die Mongolei über einen stark zentralisierten staatlichen Sektor. Aus der detaillierten Analyse folgt, dass die Mongolei eine Reihe von Maßnahmen zur Neustrukturierung der gebietskörperschaftlichen Ebenen ohne eine klare Dezentralisierungsstrategie durchgesetzt hat, die einen Top-Down-Ansatz verfolgten. Im Ergebnis wurde die Mongolei zu einem Staat mit einer starken Konzentration des Steueraufkommens auf der zentralstaatlichen Ebene. Dabei fehlt der Einnahmenzuordnung vor allem ein sehr wichtiges Element, nämlich eine Einnahmenautonomie auf der Ebene der untergeordneten Gebietskörperschaften, welche zum einen die Aufkommenssituation der lokalen und regionalen Gebietskörperschaften verbessert und ihnen damit erst eine eigenständige Aufgabenerfüllung ermöglicht. Bei der derzeitigen Aufgaben- und Steuerverteilung sind die meisten Provinzen nicht in der Lage, einen bestimmten nationalen Mindeststandard an öffentlichen Güter und Dienstleistungen bereitzustellen. Die Staatstätigkeit auf den untergeordneten Ebenen folgt überwiegend der Auftragsverwaltung und wird folglich im Wesentlichen über Finanzhilfen des Zentralstaats finanziert. Das entscheidende Problem der zwischenstaatlichen Transfers liegt darin begründet, dass es für die zentralstaatlichen Finanzhilfen an die untergeordneten Gebietskörperschaften kein stabiles, berechenbares und transparentes System der Steuerverteilung gibt. Die Höhe der Transferzahlungen an die sub-nationalen Regierungen ist weitgehend von politischen ad hoc Entscheidungen abhängig, welche in der Regel die lokalen und regionalen Finanzbedarfe missachten. Damit werden die Unterschiede zwischen Finanzbedarf und Finanzkraft auf der Ebene der untergeordneten Gebietskörperschaften nicht angemessen ausgeglichen. Es wird daher eine formelbasierte Steuerverteilung vorgeschlagen, welche die starken Schwankungen der Transferhöhe im Zeitverlauf vermeidet und die es den untergeordneten Gebietskörperschaften ermöglicht, einen vorgegebenen Mindeststandard an öffentlichen Gütern und Dienstleistungen ihren Bürgerinnen und Bürgern auch anbieten zu können.

Full textAbstract:
The activity of the Ereen Uul fault and the Sanglin Dalai Nurr fault in central Mongolia has not been studied in detail. The Erren Uul fault is a normal fault located 45 km southeast from Harhorin and the Sanglin Dalai Nurr fault is a right-lateral strike-slip fault located 30 km south of Harhorin next to the Hangay Mountains. Remote sensing and field observations were used to refine a map by the Mongolian Geologic Survey at a scale of 1:1,000,000 to a scale of 1:100,000. This new map covers an area of 8,072 km2 . The basin asymmetry factor, stream length-gradient index, and hypsometric curves were developed for basins adjacent to these faults. These geomorphic indices along with the refined map were used to conclude that the Ereen Uul and Sanglin Dalai Nurr faults are active.

This essay is a theory testing study that aims to examine to what extent modernisation promotes democratisation. This is done by applying and testing aspects of Inglehart’s and Welzel’s revised modernisation theory to a case study of a specific country, namely Mongolia. The aspects studied are 1) trust in politicians and the political system, 2) how widespread literacy is within the nation and 3) the mass belief among the Mongolian people. The study shows that elements of each aspect are present in Mongolia and that they have indeed influenced the country’s democratisation. The study concludes by summarising the result of each aspect and stating that Mongolia’s democracy is still developing.

Mongols in Northern China fear the end of a distinct cultural identity. Until the late 19th century, cultural differences between Mongols and Han could be seen through differences in each group's traditional way of life. Mongols were nomadic pastoralists. Han were sedentary farmers. Recent economic development, rapid urbanization, and assimilation policies have threatened Mongolian cultural identity. In response to this cultural identity anxiety, Mongols in Inner Mongolia have looked for ways to express their distinct cultural identity.
This dissertation analyzes three case studies derived from material cultural productions that represent Mongolian cultural identity. These include pastoralism, the use of Genghis Khan, and the Mongolian language. The analyses of different material cultural artifacts and the application of cultural and political theory come together in this dissertation to demonstrate how Mongolian cultural identity is reimagined through representation. In this dissertation, I also demonstrate how these reimagined identities construct and maintain ethnic boundaries which prevent the total absorption of a distinct Mongolian identity.Ph. D.

Resumo: A próstata, glândula do sistema reprodutor que tem origem embrionária a partir do seio urogenital, sendo formada por quatro pares de lobos fortemente associado à uretra: lobo anterior ou glândula coaguladora (GC), lobo dorsal (LD), lobo dorsolateral (LDL) e lobo ventral (LV). A fisiologia prostática é regulada por hormônios esteroides, principalmente andrógenos e estrógenos. Enquanto os andrógenos induzem a diferenciação, desenvolvimento, e atividade secretora, os estrógenos parecem modular os efeitos androgênicos, mantendo o crescimento e fisiologia normal da próstata. Embora o cortisol seja um hormônio largamente utilizado em medicamentos por suas ações anti-inflamatórias e imunossupressoras, pouco se sabe sobre os efeitos colaterais desses medicamentos, principalmente na morfofisiologia prostática. Além disso, sabe-se que esse hormônio está altamente relacionado com o estresse e com alguns distúrbios de comportamento. Desta forma, este projeto visou avaliar, por métodos histológicos, histoquímicos, imunocitoquímicos e estruturais com parâmetros qualitativos e quantitativos, diversos aspectos morfofuncionais da glândula prostática ventral de machos de gerbilo (Meriones unguiculatus), após a aplicação por cinco dias de corticosterona em duas doses diferentes: 0,5mg/kg/dia e 1,5mg/kg/dia, além disso os grupos foram subdivididos em um grupo com um período de 5 dias de descanso após o tratamento e outro grupo que foi morto um dia após o fim do tratamento. Os dados apresentados mostram que a corticosterona possui propriedades antiproliferativas e antiapoptóticas sobre a próstata de gerbilos. Esse hormônio também alterou a frequência dos receptores dos principais hormônios reguladores desse órgão, como andrógenos e estrógenos. Em relação aos receptores de glicocorticóides (GR), foi observada uma redução da sua expressão quando a concentração sérica da corticosterona encontrava-se elevada. As alterações na expressão dos receptores supracitados levaram ao surgimento de displasias prostáticas importantes. Houve uma variação nos efeitos desencadeados por esse hormônio de acordo com a dose aplicada, sendo que uma maior dose apresentou efeitos mais discretos e uma menor dose mostrou ser mais impactante. Os efeitos da corticosterona nos receptores nucleares foram revertidos ou atenuados após o período de descanso, o que não foi observado para os padrões de proliferação e apoptose celular
Abstract: The prostate, gland of reproductive system, has embryonic origin from the urogenital sinus and consists four lobes that are strongly associated with the urethra: anterior lobe or coagulating gland (CG), dorsal lobe (LD), dorsolateral lobe (LDL) and ventral lobe (LV). Steroid hormones, mainly androgens and estrogens, regulate the prostate physiology. While androgens induce differentiation, development and secretory activity, estrogens appear to modulate androgen effects, maintaining normal growth and prostate physiology. Although cortisol is widely used in drugs because their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive actions, little is known about the side effects of these drugs, especially in the prostate morphophysiology. Furthermore, it is known that this hormone is highly correlated with stress and some behavioral disorders. Thus, this research aimed evaluate, by histological methods, histochemical, immunocytochemical with structural and qualitative and quantitative parameters, various morphological and functional aspects of the ventral prostate gland of male gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) after application of corticosterona. This hormone was applicated for five days with two doses of corticosterone: 0.5mg/kg/day and 1.5mg/kg/day, in addition, the groups were divided into a group with a 5-day period of rest after the treatment and another group was killed one day after the end treatment. The data showed that corticosterone has antiproliferative and anti-apoptotic properties on the prostate gerbils. This hormone also changed the frequency of AR, ER?, ER? e GR. We observed a reduction of glucocorticoids receptors expression when serum concentration of corticosterone was elevated. These changes led to the emergence of important prostatic dysplasia. There was a variation in effects triggered by this hormone in accordance with the applied dose, being that a higher dose reported effects more discrete and a lower dose was shown to be more impactful. The effects of corticosterone on nuclear receptors have been reversed or attenuated after rest period, which was not observed for apoptosis and cell proliferation patterns

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this research is to design, and determine the feasibility of, a telecommunication system for the city of Erdenet, Mongolia. The Mongolian Telecommunication Company, Telecommunication Company of Erdenet city, and the National Statistical Office of Mongolia provided the data required for telecommunication forecasting of Erdenet. The literature review and analysis of the telecommunication forecasting indicate the need for a model of a new Telecommunication system in Erdenet, Mongolia. The model, as indicated, should become a useful example for planning and updating the telecommunication system in Mongolia. The design of a proposed telecommunication network involves the following considerations: analyzing and forecasting telephone traffic, calculating the required number of channels, determining exchange locations, traffic matrix, and establishing a basic hierarchical structure.

Full textAbstract:
This paper gives a review on the theoretical foundation for fiscal decentralisation and a status quo analysis of the intergovernmental relations in Mongolia. It consists of two parts. Part I briefly reviews the theories of fiscal decentralisation and its impact on the nations’ welfare considering the major challenges for a transition economy. Part II of the paper describes the general structure and scope of the government and examines the current fiscal autonomy in Mongolia focusing on the four main areas of intergovernmental relations. This paper concludes that local governments in Mongolia are still far away from having the political, administrative and fiscal autonomy. New approaches for the assignments of expenditures and revenues in Mongolia are urgently needed.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I use a multi-disciplinary approach to investigate two areas of active mountain-building within the Alpine-Himalayan belt: the Altai range in western Mongolia, and the Zagros mountains in southern Iran. I begin by studying a clustered earthquake sequence that struck a previously unrecognised fault zone in the NW Altai mountains in 2003. By combining seismology and field observations with satellite radar interferometry (InSAR), I attempt to unravel the detailed history of faulting in time and space. Differences between body-wave and InSAR-based models prevent me from matching individual seismic events with individual fault segments, and I explore the cause of these discrepancies. In the following two chapters, I establish late Quaternary slip-rates on major right-lateral and thrust faults in the eastern part of the Altai. In particular, I explore the use of in situ-produced cosmogenic Be-10 and Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) for dating offset alluvial fans and river terraces. My results suggest that faulting has migrated toward the eastern margin of the range from the high, interior Altai, presumably in response to stresses introduced by topography. In the final, main chapter, I investigate a link between buried reverse faulting and surface folding in the Zagros Simply Folded Belt. Using surface displacements measured with InSAR, I show that a major anticline on Qeshm Island was uplifted during an earthquake in 2005. However, the pattern of uplift is discordant with the growth of neighbouring folds, preventing us from establishing a simple connection between faulting and folding. All in all, my work demonstrates the importance of using several techniques in parallel when studying regions of active continental deformation.

Full textAbstract:
Previous economic analysis of brucellosis control in Mongolia provided a basis for further research. It was observed that there was a long tradition of brucellosis control in Mongolia but little knowledge on its effect on the spread of disease. This thesis addressed this gap and analysed the relationship between stated surveillance policy, the brucellosis prevalence in animals, and the brucellosis incidence in humans. The aim was to contribute to better understanding of the brucellosis surveillance policies applied in Mongolia and their effectiveness, and to draw conclusions and recommendations for control of brucellosis. Four aims were formulated providing steps for investigating the research question. The first two aims focused on (i) the establishment of the epidemiological patterns of brucellosis in Mongolia over the time period 1966 to 2002, and on (ii) the provision of a historical overview of the different strategies applied to the control of brucellosis in Mongolia over the same time period. The third aim was to assess the interactions between the spread of brucellosis and the surveillance strategies, and finally the forth aim was to issue recommendations about future surveillance policies for brucellosis. It was found that the published figures reflected the Brucellosis abortus incidence in the population that could be serologically tested. However, the population at risk (herders) with the main burden of disease, and suffering from Brucellosis melitensis, was underdiagnosed and not treated properly, additionally, the immunisation cam- paigns in small ruminants did not reach the critical vaccination level for eradication. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of Brucellosis melitensis in humans has to be assured at Soum (district) level. The current immunisation campaign has to be monitored and evaluated, and the knowledge of brucellosis in humans has to be recognised by policy makers, physicians and general population.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore leadership practices exercised by higher education leaders in Mongolia from the perspective of American leadership concepts. The study was based on leaders' practices. That is, the study examined how higher education leaders conduct themselves as administrators and how their leadership practices are perceived by their subordinates.
This study differed from most of the related research on higher education in three ways. First, this study focused on leaders in higher education institutions in a transitional country of Asia. Second, previous related studies primarily concentrated on leaders from one sector (public v. private) or one type of post-secondary institution (two-year, four-year, and research universities and colleges). This study encompassed samples from both public and private higher education institutions representing different types of schools (universities, specialized institutions, and professional schools). Third, this study employed both forms of the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) instrument: LPI-Self and LPI-Observer. All leaders (Rectors, Deans, and Department Heads) completed an LPI-Self on themselves and all leaders were evaluated by all levels of followers at the institution including faculty members.
The sample consisted of 20 Rectors, 20 Deans, 40 Department Heads, and 200 faculty members from 10 public and 10 private higher education institutions. The LPI-Self and the LPI-Observer instruments were translated into Mongolian and distributed to participants along with a short demographic survey.
Data analysis procedures included: (1) creating individual profiles of self scores and observers scores for each leader using LPI scoring software; (2) producing a spreadsheet of demographic information and LPI data for statistical analysis using SPSS; (3) and, the actual analysis through t-tests, analyses of variance, and multiple comparison techniques.
The results revealed that no group of higher education leaders in Mongolia were rated as high in terms of their practices even by their own self-assessment. Overall, the ratings on all five leadership practices of higher education leaders in Mongolia were lower than those of college and university leaders in the United States. Additionally, the ratings of followers on the practices of their leaders were significantly lower than self-ratings of the leaders themselves in a number of areas. One possible explanation for the findings might be the fact that leaders in higher education institutions in Mongolia are learning about leadership practices by trial and error during the country's transition from a socialist system to a democratic system.Ph.

Full textAbstract:
The Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic evolution of global climate, tectonics, ocean geochemistry, and biological diversification are recorded in stratigraphic successions globally. The rock record of southwestern Mongolia has potential to reveal additional constraints as it is in the early stages of exploration. It has been known for several years that Cryogenian passive margin sedimentation on the Zavkhan Terrane hosts evidence for Neoproterozoic glaciation, and that overlying early Cambrian strata host rich records of small shelly fossils; however, the geological context for these critical records has been previously lacking.
Although these unknowns can be regarded as local geologic uncertainties, together they hold implications to test existing tectonic and crustal growth models of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), preservation potential of geochemical proxies within carbonate dominated strata, and biologic milestones as recorded in Paleozoic sediments. To understand and interpret the above implications, methods of field geology, litho- and chemo-stratigraphy, geochemistry, petrography, fluid inclusion and clumped isotope thermometries, and U-Pb zircon geochronology were used.
As a result, the tectonic origin and travels of the Zavkhan Terrane during the Neoproterozoic to early Paleozoic is refined and models of apparent crustal growth in the CAOB are re-assessed. Global Cryogenian and Ediacaran carbon and strontium isotope curves are constructed from limestonedominated successions of the Tsagaan-Olom Group of the Zavkhan Terrane and are integrated with available geochronologic and geochemical data from around the globe. Finally, dolomitization is shown to greatly alter primary geochemical signatures, including carbon isotope values of carbonate rocks.Earth and Planetary Sciences

Full textAbstract:
By using ethnographic methods based on extensive participant observation, this thesis explores the role of pastoralism and rural work as a medium of social reproduction for families in rural Mongolia. This work is reported in four articles, which examine herder household management, decision making, and the spatial aspects of household social and economic production. As standalone pieces and as a united work, the articles make a case for understanding social change through the lens of spatialized performative relations. Pastoralism as a form of work and social system is one aspect of these relations. I contend that people consciously engage with herding as a form of work, which is an important reference point in political subjectivities and administrative practices that idealize the state. The policies and practices of government institutions, including non-state agencies, play powerful roles in the particular forms through which relations are spatialized. By taking this approach and prioritizing herder critical reflections on their own lives, I argue against the dual claim that herders exist outside the state and are bound to local environments. I show, in contrast, how herder efforts to access resources beyond local environments, such as formal schooling for children, spatially transform the labour, finance, and mobility systems of households. My work presents three key arguments with reference to these concepts. The first is that patron-client relations continue to play a strong role in family hierarchies and wider social alliances used to gain access to needed resources and services. Secondly, I argue that pastoralist work is an integral part of governance and the propagation of the moral authority of the state. Pastoralism as a form of work should be seen as a political enterprise as much as an economic or cultural one. Finally, attention to the spatial organisation of household economies, including household splitting and new types of mobility, reiterates the significance of place in human agency.

Park, Hwan-Young. "Kinship in post-socialist Mongolia : its revival and reinvention." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 1998. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/265421.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that kinship is experiencing revived importance in every aspect of life in post-socialist Mongolia and suggests a number of reasons for this phenomenon. Under socialism the state performed functions that in traditional times were the province of kin relations and networks, including the provision of housing, employment, child care, social welfare, economic help, and so on. Now that socialism is gone, kinship is beginning to fulfill many of these functions again. It is therefore -lhe Je-n ,se 6f' filling the void left by socialism. ?' I approach this topic from three perspectives: the encouragement of "old" traditions (Chapter 1), the history of kinship terms (Chapter 2), and the manifestations of kinship in Mongolian society, economy, and conceptual life (Chapters 3, 4 and 5). In Chapter 1, I outline the various ways in which Mongolians have looked at the past as a source from which to choose the aspects of kinship that they wish to revive through "old" traditions and memories. A diachronic analysis of kin terms (from the eighteenth century until today) in Chapter 2 illustrates the changes that have taken place in kinship terminology that reflect changes at the theoretical level. The practical aspects of kinship are examined in three parts: kinship relations and networks (Chapter 3), kinship and economic relations (Chapter 4), and kinship metaphors (Chapter 5). Four main themes have emerged from this study. First, ritual is now being revitalised. Second, there is a mutuality of obligations in kin relations, that does not exist in non-kin relations which tend to be based on economic considerations. Third, although there is a relatively clear boundary between kin and non-kin, it is still possible for outsiders to become insiders if they develop the trust of the kin group. While there are many degrees of acceptance, one of the most interesting is the relatively new phenomenon of fictive (huurai) kinship, which has developed only since the beginning of the post-socialist period. I argue that fictive kinship has become common because it has all the social advantages of kinship and all the economic advantages of non-kinship. Last, kinship distinctions were present, but invisible during the socialist era because kinship ties were discouraged and pseudokinship relations such as "brotherhood" and comradeship took their place. Today kinship distinctions are visible again, as sources of support in troubled times, and as ways of defining what it means to be Mongolian, including the establishment of genealogical links to the national hero Chinghis Khan. The involvement of intellectuals in the reinvention of kinship and tradition is an interesting and proble'm atic phenomenon with both positive and negative implications for postsocialist Mongolian society.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores entanglements of body, national identity and nature in contemporary Mongolia. The project is situated within the rising popularity of natural remedies and alternative medicine during a time described as disorganized (zambaraagui) and disorderly. Data was collected from 33 months of fieldwork in Ulaanbaatar and elsewhere, focused on non-biomedical practices and therapeutic landscapes, especially medicinal springs (arshaan) and their sanatoria. This work contributes to studies of post-socialist Mongolia in a few ways. The methodological decision to engage in interview and participant observation of fortunetellers (üzmerch), practitioners of Buddhist and traditional medicine (otoch, ardiin emch), astrologists (zurhaich), energy healers (bio energich), shamans (böö, zairan, udgan), enlightened lamas (huvilgaan) and massage therapists (bariach) was driven by the fluid approach with which patients approach fulfilling the needs of their health and wellbeing. Such fluidity was also echoed in healing practice; as opposed to bounded by strict conceptual distinctions, healers re-purposed personally and culturally-familiar techniques, ranging from biomedical to those of Buddhist medicine (sowa rigpa) to occult practices. Many of the same techniques were practiced by a range of practitioners. The term orthopraxy, commonality of practice across conceptual difference, is used to address this phenomena. Such pairing together of different kinds of therapies – biomedical or otherwise – calls into question a “traditional” vs. modern or neo-spiritual framework within which such practices are often cast. I employ Robbin’s anthropology of discontinuity (2003), suggesting that Soviet influences represented “hard” cultural forms that provided a partial rupture in cultural knowledge between pre-revolutionary society and 1990. Nature (baigal) and natural surroundings (baigal orchin) were concepts often raised when discussing health and wellbeing. “Spiritual” earth and mountain masters (gazariin/uuliin ezed) of estranged homelands (nutag) that cause illness in families relocated to Ulaanbaatar; the water, flora, and mutton from one’s homeland as especially medicinally-suited to the body; shamans empowered to heal by appropriating into their practices the worship of nationally-significant mountains: territorialized national identity represented a prominent trend in healing practices. The revering of a nation through natural landmarks I call national nature, and suggest it be seen both with respect to romantic and utilitarian conceptions of a therapeutic nature that underpinned Soviet medicine, and Soviet indigenization campaigns and the ethnonationalism that was encouraged to flourish in borderland republics. Affective rooting to natural landmarks to maintain or restore wellbeing was also a way to enact Mongol-ness, rendering healing the body at once a practice of national subject-making.

Full textAbstract:
The issue of interactions between the Han Chinese and Mongolian minority national in the PRC has been drawing serious attention of western scholars in recent years. The focal point of this thesis, however, is the textual representation of what used to be called `Outer Mongolia' and its people. in Chinese authoritative writings since the beginning of the 1990s, a period marked by the onset of a new era in the history of Mongolia and Sino-Mongolian relations. This thesis assesses the current, arguably competing or complementing, discourses on Mongolia embedded in officially approved and published texts meant for a general, Chinese-speaking readership. It analyses the evolution of these discourses over the last decade and highlights the discrepancies between the authoritative discourses on Mongolia of the party and government publications. The objective of the study is to try to understand the meaning of such changes and discrepancies within the discursive formation regarding Mongolia, and to do so from the perspective of the developments found in the more dominant, all-embracing discourse on Chinese/Zhonghua nation that have gained strength in the PRC throughout the 1990s. The thesis argues that Zhonghua discourse has lost its hegemonic position in formulating the official line on how Mongolia should be represented, interpreted, and acted upon. A wide range of official publications including Chinese government statements, publications of various Party organs, articles from mass-circulation periodicals, academic writings and reference literature, personal accounts, and fiction are drawn upon to illustrate the argument. This thesis uses discourse analysis as an analytical framework complemented by detailed case studies of particular representational practices and linguistic devices employed by the producers of Chinese texts to construct Mongolia's `true' identity through their writings. In order to avoid a purely structural analysis of the texts, they have been read against the socio-political context of China-Mongolia interactions since 1990, including Mongolian perspectives on the most controversial topics addressed by the Chinese authors, for example, the issues of Mongolia's independence.

Cette thèse cherche à évaluer la politique de développement mise en œuvre par les autorités mongoles entre 1990 et 2016. Elle s’articule autour de la question de recherche suivante : Entre « malédiction des ressources », sinophobie et dépendance, comment la Mongolie démocratique et libérale fait-elle face au défi du développement économique pour préserver son indépendance et sa souveraineté et éviter d'être « transformée en une simple annexe de matières premières » pour la Chine ? À travers ce prisme, cette thèse ambitionne de rendre compte du processus de transition suivi par la Mongolie après 1990. L’objectif est de proposer une description du nouveau système politico-économique qui a vu le jour, donc des spécificités de son capitalisme. Outre cette contribution aux études mongoles, cette thèse entend également permettre de mieux comprendre les défis auxquels sont confrontés les États riches en matières premières dans leur processus de développement. Enfin, elle entend contribuer à expliquer les mécanismes qui ont conduit à la divergence observée dans les processus de transitions politique et économique des pays postsocialistesThis dissertation evaluates the development policy implemented by Mongolia between 1990 and 2016. It is built around the following research question: “Between “resources curse”, sinophobia and dependency, how is the new democratic and liberal Mongolia facing the economic development challenge to preserve its independence and sovereignty and to avoid being turned “into a raw materials appendage” to China?”. Through this question, the dissertation will describe the development path followed by Mongolia after 1990. The objective is to propose a description of the new politico-economic system that has emerged, that is the specificities of its capitalism. Apart from this contribution to Mongolian studies, this dissertation will also help to understand the challenges that resource-rich countries are facing in their development process. Finally, this dissertation is proposing a new contribution to understand the reasons that led to a divergence in the economic and political transition processes followed by post-socialist countries after 1990

Most of the literature on Mongolian independence by Taiwan scholars suggests that incitement by Russia caused Outer Mongolia’s separation from Qing Dynasty and describes the leaders of the Mongolian independence movement as traitors. But how did Mongolians view their relationship with China? Did they have an ideal of independence? Did Russia completely orchestrate the movement? How did Mongolians pursue independence and how did Mongolia’s relationship with the Republic of China (ROC) develop post-independence? Investigating these questions is the primary purpose of this research. This study compares the relevant literature by Mongolian and ROC scholars, examining their diverging perspectives of the history of Mongolia’s independence and exploring the key characteristics of the literature on both sides. The study also attempts to show that at the time Mongolia became independent, the relationship between Mongolia and the ROC was complex, unclear and contradictory. In addition to Mongolian and Chinese (ROC) sources, this study draws on the relevant Russian literature. Written from the vantage point of a Mongolian, it explores various perspectives on Mongolia’s independence. Most importantly, it brings to light the viewpoints of Mongolians regarding their pursuit of independence and shows clearly that Mongolian independence was not the result of incitement by imperialist powers. The study also illustrates that the divergence of views between Mongolian and ROC scholars can be attributed in large part to limitations in their access and attention to historical documents.

Full textAbstract:
Mongolian gazelles (Procapra gutturosa) are one of Asia's last large populations of ungulates and their 275,000-km2 steppe habitat is considered to be the largest remaining example of a temperate grassland ecosystem. The gazelles and their habitat are increasingly threatened, primarily as a result of human-induced activities. In order to provide informed recommendations to best address these threats, studies concerning steppe vegetation composition and nutritional qualities, the degree of and economic factors contributing to wildlife hunting by rural households, seasonal movements, and population and distribution estimates were conducted from 2000 to 2006. The most common forage species in the steppe are Stipa spp. grasses, Artemesia spp. shrubs, and Allium spp. forbs. Steppe vegetation appears to be of sufficient quality to meet Mongolian gazelles' nutritional demands, at least during the summer season. Wildlife harvesting is an important economic and subsistence activity by a majority of rural households with 65% having harvested at least one of the five game species commonly occurring in the steppe. Mongolian gazelles were the most sought after species with 71% of hunting families harvesting an average of 5.6 gazelles/year. As a household's livestock holdings decreased and family size increased they were more likely to participate in hunting activities. A rural household of 5.5 people earned just over US$1,200/year, and hunting households earned approximately 9% of their income from wildlife products. Movements of Mongolian gazelles do not appear to follow a specific pattern and do not show fidelity to any given range. Annual range size of 4 marked adult gazelles was 26,500-km2 with little range overlap occurring between seasons. The Mongolian gazelle population that occurs to the east of the UB-Beijing RR was estimated by driving long distance line transects in May and June 2005. Density estimates ranged between 2.9–10.9 gazelles/km2 suggesting a total population size of 1.126 million gazelles. Herding household density had significant negative impacts on the density of Mongolian gazelles; gazelle numbers dropped exponentially with each additional household per 5.75-km2 block, and gazelles were virtually absent in regions with more than 4 households/block. Conservation actions are needed to ensure the long term viability of Mongolian gazelles.

Following seven decades of communist rule, with the democratic revolution, Mongolia adopted new security and foreign policy in the beginning of 1990ies. Mongolia’s Foreign Policy concept is to maintain friendly relations with two immediate neighbors the superpowers China and Russia and develop equal and balanced relations with both of them and good-neighborly cooperation.
