The Adaptation and Resilience of Pastoralists During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Mongolia
This paper draws on research conducted from 2021–2023 by multiple teams in Mongolia to understand COVID-19 impacts on rural pastoralist communities. While Mongolia adopted limited national-level COVID-19 policies specifically tailored for mobile pastoralist households and their livelihoods, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted a range of pressure points, adaptations and innovations in the local health care response. In addition, the research demonst…
Mobile pastoralist geographies of care: Nomadic relationalities between the global pandemic and environmental risks
Shaping Urban Futures in Mongolia: Ulaanbaatar, Dynamic Ownership, and Economic Flux
There is a lack of literature on the city life, urban space, and sedentary culture of Mongolia. The country is mostly portrayed as a vast steppe, with a nomadic lifestyle and wild nature. Doing twelve months of extensive fieldwork between 2015 and 2017 in the northern part of Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia, Rebekah Plueckhahn uses qualitative research methods such as participant observation and interviews to move beyond this portrayal …

Today, development projects and associated environmental, social and cultural assessments play a central role in safeguarding cultural heritage. Therefore, alternative interpretations ar…
The formation and distribution of procapitalist perspectives in Mongolia
Mongolians not only perform capitalist activity in everyday life but also form their own capitalist philosophies and concepts. Since the mid-1990s, Mongolian intellectuals, including professors, translators and columnists, have translated dozens of procapitalist books from English and Russian into Mongolian. Some have established NGOs, student clubs, and foundations to promote capitalism by organizing lectures, as well as summer schools for the p…
Enclosing the Gold-Mining Commons of Mongolia: The Vanishing Ninja and the Development Project as Resource
Since its emergence in the mid-1990s, unauthorized small-scale gold mining-widely known as “ninja mining”-has grown to become a central element of Mongolia’s informal economy, engaging tens of thousands of people in seasonal, unregulated, and occasionally dangerous labor. In this paper we set out to show that the story of ninja mining is illustrative of the wider transformation of political economy that Mongolia has experienced, in which a de fac…
