The Nomadic Leviathan
Leviathan, indeed. This book is over five hundred pages long and consists mostly of critiques of Joseph Fletcher, Thomas Barfield, Arnold Toynbee, Derk Bodde, Chi Ch'ao-ting, Karl Wittfogel, Anatoly Khazanov, Lawrence Krader, Max Weber, Owen Lattimore, and many others. The list goes on and on. Most of the work is composed of summaries of the views of a panoply of archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, and others followed by brief challenges…
China Among Equals
Scientific Exchange
The Mongols facilitated a great deal of Sino-Islamic scientific exchange. Though scholars patronized by the Mongols learned a great deal about developments on the other side of the Mongol realms, science from China did not affect the theoretical foundations of science in Iran, nor vice versa. Rather, materia medica and co-operation in observational astronomy endured. The western Mongol realms also greeted scholars from Europe and from the Islamic…
Mongolia in the Mongol Empire
Seeking to rule the vast domain they had annexed, the Mongols under Ögödei Qa’an established a capital in Qaraqorum in Mongolia. But Qaraqorum did not have the resources or water supply for a large city. After the war (1260–1264) between Qubilai Qa’an, based in China, and Arigh Böke, centered in the steppes, the victors shifted the capital to Dadu, around modern Beijing. Although Qaraqorum and Mongolia may have lost their significance with the tr…
China among Equals
The Cambridge History of the Mongol Empire
In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries Chinggis Khan and his progeny ruled over two-thirds of Eurasia. Connecting East, West, North and South, the Mongols integrated most of the Old World, promoting unprecedented cross-cultural contacts and triggering the reshuffle of religious, ethnic, and geopolitical identities. The Cambridge History of the Mongol Empire studies the Empire holistically in its full Eurasian context, putting the Mongols and …
Tribute System and Rulership in Late Imperial China
China and the Uyghurs
This balanced history of Xinjiang and its Uyghur inhabitants traces the development of this ethnic group from imperial China to the present and its fraught relationship with the Chinese state. Morris Rossabi focuses especially on CCP policies, both progressive and repressive, toward the Uyghurs since 1949.
Qaraqorum in Yuan
The Mongols’ establishment of a capital in the thirteenth century indicated their desire not only to plunder but to rule the domains they had conquered. The placement of the capital in Qaraqorum, in their own native land, appears to have been optimal, and merchants and craftsmen flocked to the city to ply their wares. As Qaraqorum flourished and the population increased, a major flaw became apparent: its hinterland could not fulfill its needs, an…
The Mongol World
Drawing upon research carried out in several different languages and across a variety of disciplines, The Mongol World documents how Mongol rule shaped the trajectory of Eurasian history from Central Europe to the Korean Peninsula, from the thirteenth century to the fifteenth century. With 58 chapters written by both senior and early-career scholars, the volume is an essential resource for all students and scholars who study the Mongol Empire fro…
Khatuns to comrades to capitalists
Since 1990, Mongolia has encountered serious economic and social problems. The transition from authoritarian socialism to a free-market economy has proven to be difficult and somewhat chaotic. The collapse of the old system of pastoral organization and the closing of many industries has resulted in unemployment, a high level of poverty, and an increase in alcoholism. Women, who had received benefits from the socialist government in the forms of m…
Mongolia in 2020
Mongolia in 2020 recorded no COVID-19 deaths, despite its proximity to China, the original hotbed of the outbreak. Yet GDP and exports decreased and unemployment, poverty, crime, and domestic abuse rose, in large part due to the disease. Facing desertification, climate change, overgrazing, and mining damage to pastureland, herders who could not eke out a living continued to migrate to Ulaanbaatar, the capital city, and lived in tents, with no run…
Mongolia in 2019
In 2019, Mongolia sought to recover from a scandal over corruption that reached the highest levels of government. An ineffective Anti-Corruption Agency, as well as poverty and environmental degradation, plagued the economy. In contrast, Mongolia bolstered economic and diplomatic relations with Russia, China, Japan, and the West
Mongol Empire and Its Impact on Chinese Porcelains
A Short History of the MongolsBy George Lane
Since 2000, a plethora of books on the general history of the Mongol empire has been published. The growing interest in global history, translations into Western language of primary sources, the fascination with Chinggis Khan, and the Mongols’ creation of the largest contiguous empire in world history have all contributed to this extraordinary output. The distinguishing feature of George Lane’s book is its conversational style and the absense of …

Questions de monnaie
Dans les sociétés exotiques que l'anthropologie étudie, on constate l'existence de systèmes et de moyens de paiement qu'on pourrait appeler monétaires, mais qui débordent largement le sens restreint que les économistes donnent au concept de monnaie. Une «ressemblance de famille» existe certes entre les monnaies de coquillage mélanésiennes, par exemple, et la monnaie abstraite de la société de marchandise, mais ces monnaies exotiques servent autan…

Voyager From Xanadu
Toward the end of the thirteenth century, at about the time Marco Polo was being received by the great Khubilai Khan, a Nestorian Christian monk from China called Rabban Sauma was making the reverse journey from the Mongol capital (what is now Beijing) to Jerusalem. Upon reaching Baghdad - the first traveler to arrive from China - Sauma learned that his pilgrimage could not be fulfilled because of Islamic control of the Holy Land. In Voyager from…

A Translation of Ch'en Ch'eng's Hsi-Yü Fan-Kuo Chih
On February 3, 1414, the Yung-lo emperor (r. 1403–24) of the Ming dynasty sent an embassy led by Ch'en Ch'eng to the Timurid rulers of Central Asia. Over the next year and a half, Ch'en visited seventeen towns and principalities, including the most important centers of the Timurid domains, Samarkand and Herat. He undoubtedly had an audience with Shahrukh Bahadur, Temür's son and successor, and was permitted access to the ruler's residence. It app…

The Muslims in the Early Yuan Dynasty
Muslim Inscriptions in China
Inscriptions on stone are a vital source for Chinese history and are, of course, invaluable when historians lack other texts or archaeological evidence. The study of Islam in China could benefit enormously from an analysis of such inscriptions. Many of the older mosques possess stone tablets on which information about the construction or restoration of the minarets, prayer halls, and grounds is provided. The inscriptions yield precise dates, name…
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
China Among Equals
Scholars have long accepted China's own view of its traditional foreign relations: that China devised its own world order and maintained it from the second century B.C. to the nineteenth century. China ruled out equality with any nation: foreign rulers and their envoys were treated as subordinates or inferiors, required to send periodic tribute embassies to the Chinese emperor. The Chinese court was otherwise uninterested in foreign lands. Its pr…

The “decline” of the central Asian caravan trade
T he central Asian caravan trade linking Europe, the Middle East, and China, which had developed as early as the Han dynasty (206 b.c. – a.d. 220), began to decline during Sung (960–1279) times and truly collapsed in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. It flourished during the Han and T'ang (618–907) dynasties, but the turbulence in northwest China during the Sung period disrupted trade along the so-called Silk Roads. In the Mongo…

The reign of Khubilai khan
Khubilai became the most powerful figure in the Mongolian domains, profoundly influenced by his mother Sorghaghtani Beki. He was the only Mongolian noble who had recruited so many Chinese Confucians. By 1279, Khubilai and the Mongols had crushed the remnants of the Sung dynasty. Khubilai was also successful in pacifying Korea. In the Chaghadhai khanate in Central Asia, Khubilai confronted a foe who wished to wrest control from him. Khubilai event…
The Cambridge History of China
This volume deals with four non-Chinese regimes: the Khitan dynasty of Liao; the Tangut state of Hsi Hsia; the Jurchen empire of Chin; and the Mongolian Yuan dynasty that eventually engulfed the whole of China. It investigates the historical background from which these regimes emerged and shows how each in its own way set up viable institutions for the control of a multi-racial, multi-lingual, and multi-cultural population. It discusses these pro…
When Silk Was Gold
The Development of Mongol Identity in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries witnessed the development of a Mongol identity. The Mongol conquests in the thirteenth century had laid the foundations but had not truly forged such an identity. These earlier events provided, in modern parlance, the cultural memory that eventually served to unify them. However, the Mongol Empire actually revealed the fractiousness of the Mongols and their inability to promote the unity that might gradual…
