Although there is no direct relationship between the size of the country and development, in the epoch of globalization, developing countries of small size are facing more complicated problems than developing countries of larger size. The principal concern is if small states have any problems related to the foreign market or foreign relations, they are fundamentally less capable than other countries of adequately resisting and adapting because of their lack of physical and financial resources. Although all small countries are facing different globalization challenges, their internal and external environments are dissimilar. Therefore, small countries need more country-specific strategies in order to benefit from globalization. In this paper, the focus is on Mongolia. As Professor Christopher Atwood from Indiana University said, “Mongolia is one of a small fraternity of ‘sandwich’ countries, which are entirely contained between other powers.” Additionally, Mongolia is an ex-communist country, which is struggling to build a parliamentary democracy with a market economy. Therefore, the country’s specific conditions and challenges for globalization differ a lot from the ones of the other small developing countries. The presenting paper explains, first, the needs of Mongolia for globalization in the light of geopolitical, economic, and socio-cultural contexts. It is important to highlight that in the case of Mongolia, its traditional and transitional difficulties challenge its efforts toward globalization. Second, some possible development strategies or trends, which are based on the Mongolian current reality, are discussed.
