Fiaschetti, Francesca, and Lkhagvademchig Jadamba. "Preliminary Remarks for the Study of Mongolian Religions in the European Union". In East Asian Religiosities in the European Union, (Leiden, Niederlande: Brill | Schöningh, 2024)

The chapter offers some preliminary data and a survey of methodological questions for the study of religion and religiosity among Mongolian diaspora communities in Europe. Mongolian migration to Europe is a relatively recent phenomenon, and the presence of diaspora communities in several European countries is linked to the history of Mongolia’s diplomatic relations. Similarly, the chapter looks at religious developments within Mongolia in the last decades to map religious tendencies among Mongolian migrant communities within Europe. By looking at Buddhism, shamanism, and popular religion, the chapter thus investigates the role of religiosities in relation to Mongolian identity and the connection of diaspora communities with the homeland.
