ARREST OF EX-PRESIDENT N. ENKHBAYAR AND ATYPICAL DEMOCRACY IN MONGOLIA
The arrest of ex-President of Mongolia N. Enkhbayar in 2012, on the eve of the parliamentary elections, stirred up the whole country and became one of the main events in the political life of the Mongolian state. Estimates of this event were divided. Some see it as a clear example of the fight against corruption, showing that Mongolia is confidently moving along a democratic path of development.

The author shows that Mongolia, which has become a vivid example of successful democratization in the post-socialist space in Asia over the past twenty years, is at risk.

According to the first one, the ex-president was arrested quite rightly, since the scale of corruption during his rule reached unprecedented proportions, the abuses of which he was accused actually took place, and the very fact of his arrest is a clear indication that Mongolia is confidently moving along the path of democratic development (for more information, see [Jar ...
