Uradyn Bulag has been conducting research in Mongolia and China since 1990. Between 1990 and 1993 he studied the political culture of nationalism and hybridity in Mongolia set in the wider geopolitics of China and Russia. In 2002 he completed his second monograph, The Mongols at China's Edge: History and the Politics of National Unity, in which he attempts to offer fresh interpretations of China viewed from the perspective of its peripheries.
