Since 1990 Mongolian social dialogue system has successfully developed being internationally recognised as one of the most successful cases among the transition economies. This system faced a serious challenge in early 2005 when the National Tripartite Committee for Labour and Social Consensus was stalled due to the disagreement on the wages issue of the public sector employees. This article explains the inherent problems of the social dialogue system of Mongolia by finding the causes of this mal-function through the analysis of the historical development of the industrial relations system. It argues that the lack of commitment of the government which is a centre piece of the industrial relations is the main problem of the social dialogue system in Mongolia. It also argues that decreasing credibility of the social dialogue system as an institution for social consensus is due to the lack of will and capacity of employers' representatives and the CMTU resulted from the state-centred structure of industrial relations.
