As a result of my experience working in international relations in China and my previous research on Inner Mongolian culture and custom, I now aim to investigate the changing dynamics of Inner Mongolia as a result of improving relations between China, Russia and Mongolia. I seek to explore the interplay between historical, geopolitical, cultural, and economic factors that shape the relationships between these three nations in the context of Inner Mongolia. I am interested in the socio-economic changes throughout Inner Mongolia and the intertwined fates of China, Russia, and Mongolia.
