Comparative Analyses of Exclusionism in (Post-)Post Socialist Countries: With...Kunio Minato
This study explores the attitude toward people with different background harbored by people in (post-)post-socialist countries, where exclusion and anti-immigrant movements can now be widely observed. The second and the third wave data of the Life in Transition Survey, conducted in 2010 and 2014 respectively, are analyzed in this study. The data enable both time-series and cross-national comparative analyses of the attitude in those countries toward people with different culture.
Among the countries this study gives particular attention to Mongolia. The rise and rampancy of ultra-nationalists, far-rights, and xenophobic groups have been repeatedly reported from the country, even before immigrant issue became central in Central and East European countries. This study reexamines the findings of the previous study, and aims to offer new viewpoint of comparative study of (post-)post-socialist countries.

Nationalism, Exclusivism, and Purism: An Analytical Description of National I...Kunio Minato
In recent years, Mongolia has witnessed the rise of ultra-nationalists and even neo-Nazis. Their campaigns pillory foreigners, especially Chinese and Koreans, as threats to the “purity” of the nation, and are often accompanied by vandalism and violence. Their target is not only limited to foreign people and enterprises but also to their fellow citizens. Reports state that women accused of fraternizing with foreigners, as well as sexual minorities, are typical examples of domestic scapegoats and objects of violence.
As ultra-nationalists and neo-Nazis themselves are very few in Mongolia, the problem is whether public opinion is tolerant of them. However, descriptions of the public opinion in Mongolia are conflicting. Some argue that nationalism and prejudice against foreigners is common in the country, and that exclusivists are gaining popularity, against the backdrop of public fear that Mongolia, the country with so small population, might be easily swallowed up by the massive influx of foreign people, investments, culture, and others. Meanwhile, others explain that these ultra-nationalist groups do not represent the majority of Mongolian people, and that their activities are still in the margins. Which is closer to reality? Resolving the contradiction and portraying an accurate picture of public opinion will help in forecasting the future of nationalism and exclusivism in the country.
This paper presents a study of issues on the national identity of ordinary Mongolians, such as exclusivism, national pride, and aspiration of “national purity.” Using data from cross-national public opinion surveys, the study examines Mongolian attitudes toward those issues, by comparing Mongolia with Asian societies and post-socialist ones. This study also explores correlations among these attitudes, as well as factors associated with them. Hence, the study aims to offer a non-European empirical viewpoint to the research of nationalism and national identity.
Resented, Concerned or Welcomed? Analyses of the Mongolian Attitude toward Ch...Kunio Minato
This study examines the Mongolian attitude toward China’s influence on their own country with comparative perspective to other Asian societies. In Mongolia, China's largest neighbor in terms of borderline, political partner and major supplier of natural resources such as coal, the two opposite tendency has been observed: growing public animosity against China and its people, including the Inner Mongolians, and recognition to the Chinese as people to cooperate with.
In order to explore the complicated attitude of the Mongolian toward influence from their southern giant neighbor, I conducted analyses of the data of two cross-national public opinion survey, namely the AsiaBarometer 2005 and the third wave data of the Asian Barometer Survey. Comparative analyses of those data confirm that Mongolians have extremely bad impression toward China’s influence, compared with influence from other countries. Moreover, they perceive China’s influence much more negatively than people in other Asian societies except Japan. At the same time, multivariate analyses focusing on the Mongolian attitude find that evaluations of macroeconomic conditions in Mongolia have a positive effect on this perception. Such effect is noteworthy because it is totally opposite to the negative effect found in other Asian societies. As China’s increasing influence has attracted more attention, public reaction to that has been more frequently studied. Exploration of the Mongolian perception of China’s influence will be of use in revisiting findings from previous research, and will provide a greater understanding of public perception of the nation’s influence.
How Do the Japanese and the Mongolians View Each Other?Kunio Minato
This study explores the Japanese and the Mongolian attitude toward each other, based on nationwide survey data collected in the two countries. The Japanese attitude toward Mongolia is examined from the data of the Japanese General Social Surveys in 2006 (JGSS-2006), which asked respondents how favorable they felt toward several countries. Next, how the Mongolians view Japan is described from the data of the Second and the Third waves of the Asian Barometer Survey (ABS2 and ABS3) collected in 2006 and 2010. The result of the analysis confirmed favorable attitude between Japan and Mongolia, which had been occasionally asserted. At the same time, the result also implied relatively less presence of Mongolia in Japan. In addition to that, factors affecting the Japanese attitude toward Mongolia are almost different between genders, and those relating to the Mongolian attitude toward Japan are completely different between generation growing up during the socialist period and that experienced compulsory education after democratization.
