The remote vastness of Mongolia has remained somewhat of a mystery to most Westerners - no less so in the 20th century. Homeland of the legendary conqueror Chingiz Khan, in modern times Mongolia itself has been the object of imperial rivalry. For most of the 20th century it was under Soviet domination. Mikhail Gorbachev began the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Mongolia in 1989, a process completed in 1992. By 1996 a coalition of opposition parties triumphed in national elections, and Mongolia launched itself on a new course. It is perhaps the most intriguing of the post-community "transition" societies. This volume examines Mongol history over the past century, embracing not only Mongolia proper but also Mongol communities in Russia and China. Contributions, based on new archival research and the latest fieldwork, are from the world's top experts in the field - including four authors from Mongolia and others from Japan, Russia, Taiwan, Great Britain and the United States. Stephen Kotkin's introductory chapter is an overview of Mongol studies. The essays in part 1 examine Sino-Russian competition over Outer Mongolia. Part 2 looks at international diplomacy in Mongolia, including the role of Japan. Part 3 focuses on contemporary issues ranging from economic and cultural change to emergent elites. A concluding essay surveys Mongolian foreign policy.

Informative in some aspects
By A Customer
I was hoping for something that explained more of the current social and cultural conditions of Mongolia. The title of this book is somewhat misleading, this book is a concise history of Foreign politics imposed on Mogolia and the conditions of foriegn relations with Mongolia, but it does not seem to say much about the attitudes of the Mongolians. This book would be good to cite in a history essay.

Impressive introduction
By Joe6Pack
It is rare to find edited volumes which are so well organized and form a coherent nalaytical narrative. Three major themes: Mongolia's relations with Imperial China. They show how the colonizing policies of the late Qing dynasty in Inner Mongolia pushed Outer Mongolia into the arms the Russians. Second, how Outer Mongolia which by 1922 had become a Soviet satellite tried to survive the triple power rivalry between Soviet Russia, the Republic of China and Imperial Japan (the latter promoting pan-Mongolia). Yet hopes after joining the Soviet attack on Japan in the latter days of WWII in order to unify with Inner Mongolia failed. The final part deals the transformation of contemporary Mongolia, the situation of mongolian minoritiesin Russia and China, and with its current foreign relations, notably its reorietation towards the West, that is: the US and Japan, which are the morst responsive, without antagonizing its two powerful neighbors.
If there is any criticism, than Mongolia's current economic na dpolitical transformations remains somewhat sketchy. Also the quality of maps leaves the reader somewhat hazy at times(e.g. when there are references to Mongolian minorities outside the country)
