Und ich dachte die mongolische Volkspartei sei die einzige Fleischpartei (MAXHam), die SED offensichtlich auch, zumindest in Schmogrow, laut Jochen Schmidt ("Phlox", S. 246)

Ich warne meine Kolleg*innen öfter dass in der Fakultät immer mehr Mongolei auftauchen wird. Eine Pferdekoppel haben wir noch nicht, aber erste Anzeichen auf dem Flur und das war ich nicht einmal.

Since I continue to think abt #AcademicFreedom in #Mongolia, here's the corresponding graph for 2019-2024, period of decline in the Academic Freedom Index components.
Note relatively (compared to 🇹🇷) even shape, pointing to, again relatively, high degree of academic freedom across all 5 indicators.

Returning to earlier consideration of #academicfreedom in #Mongolia based on @vdeminstitute.bsky.social

Important to keep in mind that 🇲🇳 continues to maintain much higher levels of academic freedom than neighbours!

On visits I always take notes (since 2011) on what's new and what's disappeared in Ulaanbaatar.
For the newest addition see mongoliafocus.com/category/ula...

Farewell, Mongolia!
I hope to be back soon.

What a wonderful book I've picked up in Ulaanbaatar. "20th Century #Mongolia n Pop Culture Posters".
See www.instagram.com/mongolianvis... to get a copy.

Category: increasing agricultural and domestic food production in #Mongolia.
No street vendors this time of year, but (fancy) supermarket offered 8 different varieties of honey for sale. The brand name won me over.

Always something new in Ulaanbaatar:
Traffic light strips in the sidewalk, paired with tactile tiles common across Japan as well.
Traffic strips blink and turn colour, ppl see them without looking up from screens, I imagine.

Looking at #AcademicFreedomIndex components @vdeminstitute.bsky.social since 2015 in more detail.
April 9, 2025 at 9:10 AM
Compare those graphs to bigger trends around the world, for example OECD and Asia scores.
March 19, 2025 at 10:46 AM
Comparing development of academic freedom (as measured @vdeminstitute.bsky.social) for #Mongolia, Argentina and Portugal, as those are two countries with a score comparable to 🇲🇳 in 2024. Much steeper decline in two comparators puts 🇲🇳 in some perspective.

#Mongolia score declined slightly in #AcademicFreedomIndex drawing on @vdeminstitute.bsky.social data.
March 19, 2025 at 8:57 AM
Those concerned abt #Mongolia democracy often point to decline in @vdeminstitute.bsky.social ratings. As example, see graph of five main democracy indices below, all declining from around 2019.
V-Dem offers many graphing tools to take a look yourself.
