Socialist Revolutions in Asia
Contemporary Mongolia is often seen as one of the most open and demo-
cratic societies in Asia, undergoing remarkable post-socialist transformation.
Based on original material from the former Soviet and Mongolian archives,
this book is the
rst full length post-Cold War study on the history of the
Mongolian People
s Republic.
Socialist Revolutions in Asia covers in detail the turbulent period from the
start of the revolution in 1921 to the end of the
ve-year plan in 1952
and gives an overview of the post-socialist socio-political transformation,
looking in particular at Kh. Choibalsan
rst
s political cult, the role of the mili-
tary and the impact of Second World War on Mongolian society. In a cri-
tique of post-modernist approaches to the study of identity and its impact on
political change the author explores power models and the role of Mon-
golian nationalism in the decisions to ally with the USSR in the 1920
30s
and to choose the democratic path of development at the end of the 1980s.
This book will be of interest to students of sociology and political science
and to all scholars interested in the modern history of Central and Inner
Asia, socialist societies and communist parties in Asia, as well as the USSR
s
foreign policy.
