East-West Center in Washington · Mongolia’s Response to Increasing U.S.-China-Russia Rivalry in Asia
In the last few years, especially during the Trump administration, Mongolia has developed a strategy, in the face of a growing competitive environment
throughout Eurasia and the Indo-Pacific, to maximize its relations with its only two border neighbors, China and Russia, while still strengthening its ties to the United States. This seminar discussed Mongolia’s trilateralism policies, economic transit zone, and North Korean diplomatic outreach within the context of growing tension among the great powers.
Dr. Campi also wrote on this topic for the East-West Center's Asia Pacific Bulletin series.
