Analysis and results of the Mongolian citizens' participation in democratic transformations of society

Mongolia's political environment is regarded as a democratic environment, it is clear that the main subject of the study of the political environment is the problem of Mongolia's democratic development. In this regard, it is possible to identify many complex issues of the stages of democracy, evaluation, problems, conditions, quality, style, political system, standards, political culture and consciousness. Political scientists have different views on Mongolia's political environment. For example, they defined Mongolia's political environment as "transitional", "medium-term", "simple", "relatively mature" or "essentially mature". The researchers' position has not yet been unanimous as to whether the term “transition” should be used in the process of shaping the political environment. Recent research groups have proposed to recognise the current political situation as a transition. Another part believes that the transition period continues [ (Ch.Davaadash, 2015, p. 187)]. There is no doubt that Mongolians have chosen democracy as their main path of development since the 1980s and 1990s and will continue into the new century. The results achieved over the past thirty years are not the basic conditions for Mongolia's democracy, but they are not yet the ideal measures and guarantees of democracy. Political scientist Rose writes that some of the positive institutional frameworks created and established during the post-communist democratic transition are actually not only representative democracy "hardware" but "software" for these countries [ (APE, 2008, p. 7)]. There is no doubt that Mongolians have chosen democracy as their main path of development since the 1980s and 1990s and will continue into the new century. The results achieved over the past thirty years are not the basic conditions for Mongolia's democracy, but they are not yet the ideal measures and guarantees of democracy. An interesting pattern was observed when comparing the results of the "Citizens' Assessment, Challenges, and Civil Society Participation Survey" (2023). Specifically, it shows that the understanding and perception of the Mongolian people of democracy has changed considerably over the 30 years following Mongolia's transition to democracy. In particular, the declaration of democracy as freedom prevailed, followed by the definition of democracy as "fair and free elections". In recent years, negative developments in the development of democracy, such as the emergence of political and business groups and the spread of widespread [ (O.Khatanbold, 2016, pp. 127, 129)] hatred of parties and groups, have had a negative impact on the reputation of democracy. As a result, the concept of “democracy is the es tablishment of justice through the participation of citizens and the active participation of civil society” has spread and has become an innovative and progressive concept. The another purpose of this paper is to evaluate women's political involvement, participation, participation, participation or decision-making in politics and working conditions, capacities and activities of non-governmental organizations. It provides a summary of the recommendations based on public opinion polls conducted by representatives of civil society organizations involved in the strengthening of democracy and the protection of civil society's human rights. The figures used in the article are from 200 representatives of non-governmental organizations operating in 21 Mongolian provinces, in a national survey on “demography, challenges and participation in civil society”, which includes detailed sociological analysis. Despite the challenges of democracy creation and consolidation, there is insufficient countries for the development and representation of democracy. As a result, political leaders are increasingly demanding commitments and civil society is exerting pressure to improve citizens' voices, to reform organizational and electoral activities, to strengthen the rule of law, to ensure transparency and to limit the influence of money in politics. The research document reflects the citizens' interest in political life in this context.
