AB - This paper traces the origins of uncertainty in Mongolia’s governance structure in terms of the institutionalism. In constitutional design, the ambiguous allocation of powers and responsibilities to government institutions results in excessive exercise of power and checks, thereby undermining the stability of the constitutional system. An analysis of the period from 1996 to 2000, when intense conflicts occurred within the Mongolian constitutional system, reveals the actual implementation of Mongolia's separation of powers as follows: Under the constitutional ambiguity, each governing body in Mongolia strives to maximize its authority and secure political leadership. This situation leaves the ultimate attribution of governance more ambiguous, as unofficial institutional factors such as constitutional spirit, history, culture, and tradition interfere with the interaction between institutions. Consequently, this leads to continuous and exhausting power struggles, thereby threatening the stability of the system. By examining the operation of Mongolia’s constitutional system, this article explores desirable constitutional amendments for Korea’s governance structure as follows: clear delineation of authority for each institution, institutional mechanisms to check the abuse of power, regulations to enhance the accountability of the executive branch, and the increase of opportunities for direct public participation in the operation of the governance structure.
