July 9, 2008: Internal fighting over mineral rights in Mongolia impacts Alaska

 

An internal fight over leasing, royalty and taxing policy for minerals in Mongolia has impact in the United States, and threatens the success of U.S. efforts to help establish rule of law and free-market capitalism in that post-Communist country, according to researchers at the Institute of the North.

 

A letter sent by the Institute of the North in June to U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, expressed growing concern over the troubling state of affairs in Mongolia, where Alaska enjoys strong sister-city relations and cooperation between that country’s defense forces and Alaska’s National Guard.
