Mongolia Today, first published in 1991, is a comprehensive collection of essays by renowned scholars in the field, offering invaluable insights into the economic, political, legal, and military systems of Mongolia. The Mongolian People's Republic, formerly known as Outer Mongolia, spans an impressive three times the size of France, yet boasts a population of just two million. Positioned between Russia and China, this remote heartland of Asia has long been one of the world's most inaccessible regions, thanks to both political and geographical barriers that have preserved its isolation.

Mongolia's modern history has been significantly shaped by its two formidable neighbors: strong economic and political ties with the erstwhile Soviet Union and complex relations with China. Relations with the West have been relatively slow to develop, but post-cold war, Mongolia is eager to explore new partnerships with other parts of the world and transform this once isolated land into a global trading partner with immense potential.

This book is a vital resource for scholars and researchers specializing in Central Asian studies, Asian politics, and Chinese studies. It provides a deep understanding of Mongolia's historical, cultural, and geopolitical landscape, shedding light on its role in the region and its potential for future growth and development.
