内容説明
Mongolia borders Russia to the north and the People's Republic of China to the south, east, and west. The Mongol Empire was founded by Genghis Khan in the 13th century. It eventually submitted to the Manchu rulers of Qing China in the 17th century. After the Soviet-backed revolution of 1921 it became a one-party state known from 1924 as the Mongolian People's Republic. Following the democratic revolution of 1990, which ushered in multiparty politics and a market economy, the new constitution adopted in 1992 renamed the country Mongolia. The third edition of the Historical Dictionary of Mongolia greatly expands on the previous edition through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, appendixes, and over 1000 cross-referenced dictionary entries on important people, places, events, and institutions, as well as significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects.
Book Description
Like the former republics of the Soviet Union and the countries of Eastern Europe, Mongolia has been attempting to build a democratic nation from the ashes of a collapsed Communist regime. Unlike these other countries, however, Mongolia's transition has gone on largely unnoticed in the Western press. The "Historical Dictionary of Mongolia" is the first scholarly work to describe and explain these momentous changes as well as correct errors arising from the scarce and suspect information about the country. Written by Alan J. K. Sanders, one of the foremost authorities on Mongolia, this dictionary provides entries on the various Mongol tribes and the Communist period with a focus on the persons, institutions, events, and places important in the new Mongolia. The chronology provides information on the long history of Mongolia stretching back to Genghis Khan. The appendixes include the new constitution and investment law and lists of members of key government and other bodies. With a comprehensive bibliography, lists of acronyms, and a map.
