The history of the twentieth century Mongolia beginning from 1911 until the democratic revolution of 1990 unfolds a series of events that led the country to finally break its economic and political dependence on the former Soviet Union. In 1990 the first free elections were held which witnessed the formation of a new Parliament followed by the adoption of a new constitution in 1992 which changed the country's name from Mongolian People's Republic to simply Mongolia. In a concise form the book highlights important landmarks in modern Mongolia and also examines the prevailing situation in the Mongol land in the period preceding the twentieth century. Revival of nationalism has been a new phenomenon in Mongolia which was a direct result of the 1990 pro democracy and Nationalist Movement and therefore this issue has also been dealt with in the context of re emergence of Chinggis Khan as a national hero in the post Soviet Mongolia. A brief scenario of changes in Mongolia's domestic and foreign policy after collapse of the former Soviet Union has also been presented apart from highlighting the evolution of a new democratic civilian society and the overall political scenario in the country. While drawing attention to the revival of history culture and religion the book throws fresh light on issues concerning the nomadic identity of Mongols in the twenty first century. 206 pp.

Bibliography. Index. Due to its geographical location between Russia and China Mongolia has always been of strategic importance to both of its two giant neighbours. In particular its relations with China have deep historical roots as throughout recorded history nomadic Mongols and sedentary Chinese interacted constantly. The Mongol conquest of the Eurasian continent in the thirteenth century and establishment of the Mongol Yuan dynasty in China brought the two peoples close together. However it was the establishment of the Manchu Ch'ing [Qing] rule in China in the seventeenth century that led to the beginning of a new era in the history of Mongolia [then known as outer Mongolia]. For it was during this period that the Mongols of outer Mongolia were brought into submission to the Ch'ing rule. With the fall of this last dynastic rule following the Chinese revolution in 1911 Outer Mongolia first with the support of Tsarist Russia and later with that of Soviet Russia declared itself independent to be proclaimed as the Mongolian People's Republic in 1924. In the following years Chinese claim of its lost territory remained intact even after 1946 when the MPR was recognized as an independent state by the KMT government. The period that followed has been marked by ups and downs at several fronts in the relations between the MPR and the PRC due to former's existence as a Soviet satellite. The Sino Soviet rivalry during the Cold War period has had direct bearing on Mongolia so much so that Ulaanbaatar closely reflected the Soviet line in its attitude towards Peking. Nevertheless the Sino Soviet rapprochement in the 1980s finally led to the normalisation of Mongolia China relations. A new phenomenon emerged in the two countries relationship after disintegration of the erstwhile Soviet Union that allowed China to fill the power vacuum in Mongolia. The book not only traces the historical roots of Mongolia China relations but also analyses the extent and pattern of the diverse relations between the two countries in the modern and contemporary times. It examines various circumstances leading to incorporation of inner Mongolia into China as an autonomous region. While dealing with the Cold War period the book delves into the impact of Sino Soviet rivalry on the entire gamut of Mongolia China relations and highlights key factors that adversely affected their relations. The book brings into focus the shift in Moscow's China policy following Gorbachev's Vladivostok initiative and its positive impact on the normalisation of Mongolia China relations thus throwing fresh light on post socialist Mongolia's security concerns in the new geo strategic set up. 328 pp.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Having discarded the Soviet style communism and state controlled economy following the collapse of the USSR, Mongolia of today is a young democratic country with free market economy. It seeks to ensure the security of its own existence by strictly observing the policy of neutrality due to being a landlocked country between the two influential geographic neighbours - Russia and China. Over the years internal changes in society, economy and politics have seen Mongolia coming a long way in trying to strengthen the country`s outlook-both strategic and economic- by political means. Similarly, Mongolia`s external linkages which are based on "third neighbour" foreign policy too are influenced by national interest at the first place, i.e., strengthening its internal and external security. In other words, the new foreign policy guided Mongolia to take a resolute stand while discarding dependence on Russia or China and reaching out to countries that can counterbalance the inclinations and serve as a check on the economic, political, and strategic ambitions of Moscow and Beijing. Mongolia believes that the 'diverse foreign economic and trade relations are an element of broader stability'. This is relevant given that Mongolia possesses abundant natural resources, including Asia's largest copper mine and massive uranium deposits, which point to a promising future in terms of economic growth. It is in this context that this book provides Indian viewpoints, particularly of young research scholars, on the developments taking place in Mongolia by taking into consideration country`s internal changes and external linkages. The book, as such, is another addition to the slender collection of literature on Mongolian studies in particular and Inner Asian studies in general which will be an asset for the researchers, students, think-tanks and policy makers.
