The Mongolian Empire, which reigned over the Eurasia Continent, was a
great empire in the Middle Ages. Now, however, it is a divided nation,
with a current population of about 10 million people, all of whom are
distributed throughout the region, which makes contact with borders of
the east, west, north, and south of (Outer) Mongolia. This book aims
to offer a thrilling exploration of Mongolia’s past, present, and
future in the context of Mongolians in the 20th century. This book
details the region’s historical development for the first half of
the 20th century by tracing Mongolia’s history with rare materials.
In addition, the relationships between both Inner Mongolia and China,
and Outer Mongolia and Russia, are analyzed in-depth. Then, accounting
for the second half of the 20th century, the author offers an in-depth
analysis of Inner and Outer Mongolia, which have changed greatly since
the era of reform and their opening-up. These exciting analyses are
based on field surveys conducted by the author every year since 1990.
Through synthesizing forty years of studies on Mongolia, including
field surveys, the author analyzes the modern relationship between
Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, organized by subject and period.
Also, the author argues that a unified Mongolia could become a serious
threat to neighboring countries, such as China and Russia, in part
because Mongolians are gathering under a spiritual leader named
Chinggis Khan. Therefore, the question pursued in this book is: How
can modern-day Mongolian achieve cohesion, thereby re-establishing a
unified Mongolia? In response, this book argues that unification could
be attained by linking Mongolia’s economic development, political
stability, and maintenance of cultural identity, and to do so based on
"Chinggiskhanism" in a post-reform era. In this comprehensive
20th-century history of Mongolia, readers not only can come to
understand why Mongolia became divided into two regions, Inner
Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, but also readers will come to understand
Mongolia’s socio-cultural relationship with China. Truly, this book
can serve readers as an opportunity to better understand the
"development of relations for former glory between Mongolian peoples"
based on the change in relationship between Inner Mongolia and Outer
Mongolia after undergoing significant reforms and opening up.
