Presidential Power Grab: Corruption and Democratic Backsliding in Mongolia (Blog).  “In the past, Mongolia seemed responsive to external pressure to increase transparency and reduce corruption, and the country has made international commitments to the United Nations Convention against Corruption, the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering, and the Open Government Partnership. But Battulga won the presidency on an explicit and nationalist “Mongolia First” platform…suggesting he’s unlikely to bow to any outside censure of his reactionary moves.”
