Mongolian Migrants in the USA: “American Dream” or Modern Model of Nomadism

Abstract

This study is devoted to the analysis of the migration practices of Mongolian citizens moving to the United States. The main purpose of this article is to identify and characterize the main factors contributing to emigration, as well as to describe the practices that have developed among Mongolian migrants in the recent historical period. The relevance of this topic is determined by the peculiarities of the socio-economic development of Mongolia, its strategic and geopolitical significance in the AsiaPacific region. The authors attempted to give a general description of the trends inherent in migration processes in terms of socio-economic and socio-cultural parameters. The objectives of the study are to identify the features of the adaptation practices of Mongolian migrants in the United States, to identify places of compact residence, as well as to build individual strategies in the host society. Particular attention in the study is paid to the analysis of official statistics, studies conducted by international organizations. The results obtained allow us to formulate scenarios for the predictive development of migration flows in the context of changes in the international political and economic situation.
