Abstract

This paper seeks to examine the causes of Mongolia’s complicated relationship with China. The threat perception in Mongolia during communist rule was formed by the leaders and reinforced by the guidance of former USSR. The attitudes of the Mongolian political elites toward China have changed noticeably from mid-2000 due to increased interactions and the economic benefits but public attitudes have not changed because of lingering impacts of historical experiences and the unwillingness of the political elites to deconstruct the overly negative schemas that were consolidated during the Cold War.
