State, Popular Mobilisation and Gold Mining in Mongolia

Abstract

The square was originally named after the communist revolutionary leader Sükhbaatar Damdin, and the name changed to Chinggis from 2013 to 2016. The above incident occurred on the square when it was called Chinggis Square. The peace was also interrupted on 1 July 2008, by protestors who resisted the results of the election. In the riot, police used tear gas and non-lethal weapons and killed five people. Unlike this riot, on 16 September 2013, it was the activists who brought arms in order to show their resistance against decisions of the central government and Parliament. Uyanga is a woman in her forties who is a journalist and activist. She had been organising and leading dozens of nationalist movements and demonstrations against the state rulers, and was elected to the Parliament in 2012.

Many others also write about how other countries (Cordero et al. 2005, 1;Song and Woo 2008) experience similar economic and environment dilemmas in their own ways. International organisations, analysts and the media frequently address the economic slowdown triggered by environmental policy. Also, major surveys also suggest the same. For example, Forbes Insights survey shows that the United States regulatory environment has more impact on business than the economy (Moreno 2014).
