Sanders Alan J.K. Historical Dictionary of Mongolia

Fourth Edition. — Rowman and Littlefield Publishers, 2017. — 1120 p.his fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Mongolia covers the people and organizations that brought Mongolia from revolution and oppression to independence and democracy, and its current unprecedented level of national wealth and international growth. This is done through a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1,200 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Mongolia. This Historical A-Z Dictionary of Mongolia focuses on the new Mongolia that is still emerging, providing entries on persons, institutions, places, and events that have become important in the 1990s. It also reviews the communist period, including similar entries, and sometimes takes a look further back, especially in the chronology. Helpfully, it even considers the Mongols beyond Mongolia's borders. Again, to enable scholars to know present-day Mongolia better, appendixes include the new constitution and investment law and lists of members of key government and other bodies. For those who want to find additional material, there is a comprehensive bibliography, which includes much of the unfortunately still limited literature on the modern Mongolian state.
