Mongolia is in the midst of one of the world's largest mining boom and the Gobi Desert is the construction site of what is expected to become the World's third‐largest gold‐copper mine: Oyu Tolgoi. The paper follows the case of Oyu Tolgoi to analyse how a complex array of global norms are being domesticated in the particular context of Mongolia. Building on data gathered in the course of three field visits to Mongolia and the literature rooted in critical political economy, it is argued that in Mongolia, the domestication of market‐oriented norms in extractive governance have taken precedence over any other international norms championed for the sector. In such light, and this is the second argument of the paper, this hierarchy embedded in the complex array of international norms that impact the mining sector has compelled the State to strategically cede some of its former roles and responsibilities to the private sector, leaving civil society elements—in the case of Oyu Tolgoi mine, local nomadic communities—with little recourse to address what is now a highly asymmetric relationship with Rio Tinto, the main shareholder of the mine.

全球规范化驯化和选择性合规性：以蒙古的Oyu Tolgoi矿为例

蒙古正处于世界上最大的矿业繁荣之一，戈壁沙漠是有望成为世界第三大金铜矿的建筑工地：Oyu Tolgoi。本文以奥尤·陶尔盖（Oyu Tolgoi）为例，分析了如何在蒙古的特定背景下驯化一系列复杂的全球规范。基于在对蒙古的三次实地考察过程中收集的数据以及扎​​根于批判性政治经济学的文献的基础上，有人认为，在蒙古，采掘治理中以市场为导向的规范的本地化要优先于为该规范倡导的任何其他国际规范。部门。有鉴于此，这是本文的第二个论点，
