Abstract

This article presents findings from an original survey and a set of paired focus groups completed in 2019, tapping into current Mongolian perceptions of economic, social and political globalisation. While there was overwhelming support for the economic opportunities associated with globalisation, there was critical concern over the distributional implications of those gains. Respondents were pessimistically uncertain about the cultural implications of globalisation, citing concerns about the loss of traditional nomadic practices, environmental degradation and changes in patriarchal structures. Respondents affirmed that many of their own political ideas about good governance were shaped by global information flows, showing the complexity of mixed attitudes toward globalisation.

摘要

本文介绍了一项原始调查和一组于 2019 年完成的配对焦点小组的结果，探讨了当前蒙古人对经济、社会和政治全球化的看法。虽然与全球化相关的经济机会得到了压倒性的支持，但人们对这些收益的分配影响存在严重担忧。受访者悲观地不确定全球化的文化影响，理由是担心传统游牧习俗的丧失、环境退化和父权制结构的变化。受访者肯定，他们自己关于善治的许多政治理念都受到全球信息流动的影响，显示出对全球化的复杂态度。
