Mongolia in 1992: Back to One-Party Rule

Abstract

Mongolia adopted a new Constitution in January 1992 and held its second free election the following June, remarkable accomplishments in the time since the nation began its reform in 1990. The Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP), whose almost 70-year rule was interrupted by two years of power-sharing with its opposition, was voted into office again. Mongolia expanded its relations with the developed countries by seeking new partners in Europe, and at the same time, made strong advances toward the Third World by participating in the activities of the Nonaligned Movement.
