本文分析了中國與蒙古之間的複雜關係，特別是2012年至
2017年習近平的第一任期的兩國關係。這一時期是習近平
給中國外交帶來重大變化的時期。習近平強調周邊外交的重
要性。習近平的中國正在通過引入一些“雙贏項目”來改善與
亞洲國家的關係。最值得注意的是，“一帶一路”承諾為所有
涉及的國家帶來繁榮和財富。本文研究了中國啟動的項目對
蒙古的影響。對蒙古的經濟利益是巨大的，但是這個論文也
提到了成本。在蒙古等不同國家的書籍，研究文章，期刊和
網絡報紙的幫助下，作者能夠總結中蒙關係的歷史，分析當
代中蒙兩國的貿易和社會關係。作者運用依賴的概念，用國
家利益的概念來解釋中蒙的外交關係。此外，蒙古利用“第
三鄰國”對外關係政策作為平衡中國不斷增長的力量的工具
，其中特別討論的是蒙古與俄羅斯、日本和美國的關係。

This thesis analyses complex relations between China and Mongolia, particularly during the first term of Xi Jinping being in power from 2012 to 2017. This period was chosen because Xi Jinping brought major changes in China’s foreign policy. Xi emphasizes on the importance of periphery diplomacy. China under Xi is working towards improving relations with Asian countries by introducing a number of “win-win projects”. Most notably, the ”One Belt, One Road” promises to bring prosperity and wealth to all the countries involved. This thesis studies the effect of the Sino-initiated projects on Mongolia. Economic benefits to Mongolia are substantial; however, this thesis mentions the costs as well. With the help of books, research articles, journals, and online newspaper articles from diverse countries including Mongolia, the author was able to summarize the history of Sino-Mongolian relations as well as analyze the contemporary trade and social relations between China and Mongolia. The author applies the concept of dependency and uses the notion of national interest to interpret Sino-Mongolian diplomatic relations. In addition, Mongolia’s use of “third neighbor” policy of foreign relations as a tool of balancing China’s growing power is discussed by looking at its relations with Russia, Japan, and the USA.
