The Modernization of Inner Asia
Inner Asia - in premodern times the little-known land of nomads and semi-nomads - has moved to the world's front page in the 20th century as the complex struggles for the future of Afghanistan, Soviet Central Asia, Tibet and other territories make clear. But because Inner Asia as a whole is divided among several states politically and among area specialists academically, broad perspectives on recent events are difficult to find. This work treats …
Notes on Shamans, Fortune-Tellers and Yin-Yang Practitioners and Civil Administration in Yüan China
The Mongol Empire and its Legacy
The Mongol empire was founded early in the 13th century by Chinggis Khan and within the span of two generations embraced most of Asia, becoming the largest land-based state in history. The united empire lasted only until around 1260, but the major successor states continued on in the Middle East, present day Russia, Central Asia and China for generations, leaving a lasting impact - much of which was far from negative - on these areas and their pe…
The Yüan government and society
The structure of Yüan government took shape during the reign of Khubilai, and the essential components of the government bureaucracy that formulated under him remained intact until the end of the dynasty in 1368.

It is clear that separate civil and military bureaucracies existed, though there also is evidenc…

It discusses these pro…

Khubilai Khan
Imperial Governance in Yuan Times
M /rONGOLIAN rule in China in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries has often been characterized as contributing directly to the development of a strong autocratic tradition in late imperial China. In the spirit of critically examining certain basic assumptions that continue to dominate the field of Yuan history, this article will address the question of the Mongols' role in the building of such an autocratic tradition. One theory in particular…
