Details

Offering a comprehensive summary of the history of the Mongolian state and legal system from the Hun (Xanadu) Empire to the present day, this encyclopedic volume is a pioneering undertaking by its two Monogolian authors. No other book exists in English matching its breadth and wide-ranging scholarship, which draw upon a vast array of (multi-lingual) sources. The volume uncovers the role played by the Mongols in global and regional statehood history. The Mongols’ profound influence is evident in their contributions to establishing a vast unified country between Russia and China.

Jigjid Boldbaatar (Sc.D.) is a Member of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences (Academician) and Professor of History at the National University of Mongolia and Shihihutug University; he was a former member of the Constitutional Court of Mongolia and a member of Parliament from 1992to 1996. Danzan Lündeejantsan (Sc.D.) is the President of the Academic Council and a Professor of Comparative Law and Constitutional Law at Shihihutug University; he was the former Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the State Great Hural (Parliament) of Mongolia, and a member of Parliament from 1990 to 2020.
