The regional integration of Northeast Asia is far behind other regions.Recent developments on the Korean Peninsula offer the possibility of a trajectory toward integration. Any regionalization would be in Mongolia’s national interest.Mongolia’s material contribution to regional integration would be limited. However, Mongolia could contribute greatly to the regionalization processes We highlight such process contributions: (1) the provision of neutral ground for dialogue between conflicting parties; (2) hosting peacekeeping and disaster-relief exercises; (3) promoting non-governmental connections; and (4) serving as an example for political and economic transition. If US-DPRK negotiations result in positive steps, Mongolia could contribute expertise in the establishment of a nuclear-weapon free zone.

In the political meaning, Northeast Asia consists of the six countries of Japan, South Korea (Republic of Korea), North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea), Russia, China, and Mongolia. When we talk about economic cooperation in this region, in addition to Japan, South and North Korea, and Mongolia, we limit the scope to China’s Northeastern provinces of Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang (with the possible inclusion of Inner Mongolia), and Russia’s Far East, comprising Eastern Siberia and the Maritime Province.

China has become a hot topic among business and foreign policy elites in neighboring countries but has also become the main concern of the United States and Europe. China’s rise, many researchers predict, may be the most important trend in the world for the next century. China is the fastest growing economy with the fastest growing military budget in the world. With a population of 1.2 billion and nuclear weapons, it has border disputes with most of its neighbors The former Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew says: “The size of China’s displacement of the world balance is such that the world must find a new balance in thirty to forty years. It’s not possible to pretend that this is just another big player. This is the biggest player in the history of man” /I/ The task I have set for myself is this paper in to analyze China’s domestic and international environment and constraints on its foreign policy, and to make some tentative forecasts.

Over the past four years, many important steps have been taken to restructure all spheres of public life in Mongolia. The adoption of the new Constitution which reflects the main structural issues of a democratic state, legally ratified this historic process. Specifically, Mongolia has taken measures to privatize state and cooperative properties, change the tax and banking systems, liberalize prices and tariffs, establish floating exchange rates, and create new relations for the organization and production of economic units. Many practical steps have been taken to set up a legal basis for the transfer to a market economy. Favorable conditions for carrying out an open economic policy are being created in the country, which in-clude common principles of international legality. I would also like to stress that the measures facilitating Mongolia’s transition to a market economy are being taken according to an agreement with the International Monetary Fund. Given the need to change legislation to suit a market economy, the most important laws and acts relating to economic units, privatization, taxes, customs, and banking have been adopted. This has been very important in creating the legal basis for shaping the new economic environment. Although these laws and acts still need perfecting, they already have created new economic and social relations. While there have been some initial achievements in the country’s economy, it is still too early to say for certain that the country is on its way toward overall recovery and growth. Here are some details of the most recent developments.

Similarities 1. Both the Mongols and the Chinese were under Manchu domination for more than two hundred years. The revolutions of 1911 were the result of the anti-Ding movement for national independence in both nations. This meant that these revolutions, both in Mongolia and China, had the single goal of overthrowing the Ding regime and of restoring national independence with their own governmental systems. 2. The Qing dynasty, from the mid-nineteenth century on, became a semicolony of imperialist powers, so both revolutions were organized on the same souci-political basis. 3. The 1911 revolutions in Mongolia and China had the common aim of restoring national independence through armed struggle. 4. The imperialist powers and progressive people supported the anti-Ding movement for national liberation as well as its fighters or revolutionaries in the Ding Empire. 5. After the overthrow of the Qing dynasty, the revolutionaries in Mongolia and China established their own forms of government.
