Information Society and Media Development in Modern Mongolia

By Undrah Baasanjav

This book provides an account of Mongolian information society from the perspective of critical media studies. The converged media sphere in modern Mongolia mirrors and shapes political communication, economic outlook, institutional norms, and Mongolian identity. When placing Mongolia on the global information society map, the arguments in the book juxtapose information society tenets and structural constraints like the small market, communist past, and mining-dependent economy. Today, people in Mongolia take advantage of the mobility, speed, and spatiality of the internet, as the Mongolians of old once saddled their horses and galloped across the grassy steps of Eurasia.
