A quarter century ago, Mongolia, Asia’s first Communist power, was wracked
by revolt among its young, educated elite, a revolt that ultimately
culminated in the collapse of Communism and establishment of a democratic
government . Only months earlier, demonstrations at Tiananmen had ended in
tragedy and disaster. Earlier still, Kwangju’s youth rallied to the cry of
democratic reform. Looking back at this period from the perspective of
hindsight, and in the context of our own contemporary conversations about
the preservation of democratic forms and ideals, scholars and government
officials, including those who lived through these cataclysmic events,
discuss Mongolia’s journey in comparative political perspective.
