We are witnessing changes to the Mongolian nomad social system: globalisation, political, economic and climatic changes are all affecting traditionalpastoral nomadism. The mobility of the Mongolian nomads drastically decreased in the last twenty years. Some researchers argue that the mobilitychange will accelerate the acculturation of Mongolian pastoral nomads. Basedon my fieldwork and research, I consider the issue of acculturation a verycomplex phenomenon, which depends on the adaptiveness and flexibility ofthe nomads. For this reason, we should look at these specific aspects of theMongolian nomadic pastoralism. In this study, I present the historical, economic and ecological reasons for the mobility decrease and the theoreticalbackground of my fieldwork.
