| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to investigate the mechanism and characteristics of new Mongolian communities formed by cross-border religions, by conducting fieldwork in Mongolia, South Korea, UK, and USA. Result from my study illuminates the fact that religions such as Christianity and Buddhism have played an important role in connecting Mongolians living abroad whose ethnic consciousness had been revitalized in foreign countries. Their ethnic consciousness is embodied at their religious activities such as rituals, prayer services, and missionary activities which are oriented not only to Outer Mongolians, but also to the “Mongols” including Inner Mongolians, Buryats, and other people derived from the Mongol Empire. These religious communities and networks also serve as the basis of reciprocal help activities and philanthropic programs.
