- Summary:
- This book provides an overview and discussion of the sparsely populated young democracy of mongolia, which is located in a remote part of Asia, sandwiched between two powerful large neighbours, China and Russia. It made its transition to democracy peacefully in 1990, after nearly 70 years as a Soviet satellite state. Congress has shown a strong interest in Mongolia's development since, through the funding of assistance programs, ratification of a bilateral investment treaty, legislation to extend permanent normal trade relations, and passage of six resolutions commending Mongolia's progress and supporting strong U.S.-Mongolia relations. Discussed are Mongolia's democratic development, economic issues and engagement with the world.
