The Mongolia Institute prides itself on the wide range of research it publishes on the region. Mongolian experts explore such topics as health, human-animal relations, water management, environmental degradation, political borders, hidden histories and even nuclear weapons disarmament. From Archaeology to contemporary politics, the Institute’s projects take a holistic view across the Mongolian region (Inner Asia, including Inner Mongolia within China, Mongolia, Tuva and Buryatia).
