This is Altankhuyagyn Bat-Orgil from Dariganga, Mongolia. I am a PhD student at the University of Bonn, Germany. I worked on various research projects such as a Democracy, Human Rights and Governance Assessment, Institutionalization of Political Parties in Mongolia and Electoral System Options for Mongolia. Previously, I worked at the Defacto Institute as a researcher, a public policy think tank in Mongolia. My research interests include, but not limited to the following areas: political institutions, state building, democracy and development at large.
I did my bachelor’s degree in Public Administration at Mongolian University of Science and Technology in 2008. In 2016, I graduated from the University of Auckland with a Master’s degree in Public Policy and a postgraduate diploma in Development Studies.
