"A richly informative survey of Mongolian foreign policy since the country’s transition in 1990 from communism to a troubled but still functioning democracy." —Andrew Nathan, Foreign Affairs

"A superb study of the challenges and responses of liberated and democratic Mongolia.... Campi gives voice to the dilemmas facing this strategically positioned nation.... A must read."—Robert Bedeski, University of Victoria

DESCRIPTION

Strategically located at the crossroads of Central Asia, China, and Russia, Mongolia has long attracted the attention of major world powers. How has this traditionally nomadic, but resource rich, country used a "Wolf Strategy" to establish its own place in the modern world? What challenges does it now face? Answering these questions, Alicia Campi provides a multifaceted examination of the context, formulation, and execution of contemporary Mongolian foreign policy.
