Abstract

Since 1990, Mongolia has been transitioning from socialism and a controlled economy to democracy and a market economy accompanied by dramatic changes throughout society. This paper focuses on nomads’ responses and urban residents’ adaptations to these changes to clarify the essence of Mongolians’ inherent resilience. Historically, the traditional nomadic lifestyle in Mongolia emphasizes resilience. Nomads flexibly respond to changes in nature and social situations, cope well with natural disasters, and cooperate within families and communities. Their lives are filled with an understanding of resilience that continues even after they immigrate to cities and become urban residents. Resilience comprises mobility, commonage of place, flexibility, and mutualism cultivated throughout their nomadic history.
