EVOLUTION OF THE KAZAKH DIASPORA IN MONGOLIA: HISTORY AND IMPACT ON REGIONAL RELATIONS

Abstract

Abstract. The purpose of this study is to analyze the evolution of the Kazakh diaspora in Mongolia and its impact on regional relations. To achieve this goal, an analysis of the historical processes associated with the migration of Kazakhs to Mongolia, starting from the 20th century, was carried out. The study examined the cultural, social and political aspects of the formation and development of the Kazakh diaspora in Mongolia.

The main objectives of the study include:

• Studying the history of migration of the Kazakh population to Mongolia and the factors that contributed to this process.
• Analysis of the influence of the Kazakh diaspora on the sociocultural dynamics of the region and regional relations.
• Determining the role of the Kazakh diaspora in the modern context of regional politics and economics.

The novelty and relevance of the study lies in its contribution to the understanding of the formation and interaction of ethnic groups in the region, as well as in identifying the role of the Kazakh diaspora in strengthening interregional ties.

Research methods included analysis of historical sources, archival data, as well as a comparative analysis of cultural and sociological aspects of the influence of the Kazakh diaspora on regional relations. The results of the study confirm the importance of the Kazakh diaspora in the formation and development of regional relations in Mongolia, and also reveal the potential for ethno-sociocultural cooperation in the region. A comparative analysis of various sources, including the works of Mongolian, Western and Kazakh authors, as well as archival documents, made it possible to identify the dynamics and reasons for the resettlement of the Kazakh population from Kazakhstan, as well as the reasons and dynamics of the resettlement of the Kazakh diaspora to Mongolia. This analysis covered various aspects, including the habitats of the Kazakhs, the comparative ethnic structure of Mongolia and their relationship to this structure. In addition, the cultural and sociological aspects of the stay of the Kazakh diaspora in Mongolia and its impact on relations between Kazakhstan and Mongolia were examined.

The preservation and development of the Kazakh diaspora in Mongolia, despite political and regional problems, is evidence of the resilience of the Kazakh community in the face of adversity. The descendants of these migrants continue to make a great contribution to the cultural and economic cooperation between Kazakhstan and Mongolia. The historical experience of the preservation and development of the Kazakh diaspora in Mongolia also serves as a reminder of the complex socio-political experiment that Central Asia experienced in the twentieth century.
