Its full independence in 1990 offered new opportunities for both economic growth and the restoration of Mongolian identity. But with a huge land area, poor infrastructure and a small population, the new republic is highly vulnerable and also dependent on international support.\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides easily accessible information for developers, planners, consultants, scholars, students and others with an interest in contemporary Mongolia. Prefaced by a general overview of the land and society, its chapters, all written by international experts, cover a wide range of topics, including foreign policy, domestic politics, local government structure, living standards and poverty, women in society, grassland management, the common herding household, and science and technology policy. A comprehensive bibliography is provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ole Bruun, Ole Odgaard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0700704418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780700704415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.62w x 0.75d","brand":"Ole Bruun","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120107057407,"sku":"9780700704415","price":74.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be1ced93-02c6-4ecb-9cad-24f8a5bda54a.jpg?v=1687412588","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mongolia-in-transition-ole-bruun-9780700704415","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
