THE INTERACTION BETWEEN ETHNIC RELATIONS AND STATE POWER: A STRUCTURAL IMPEDIMENT TO THE INDUSTRIALIZATION OF CHINA, 1850-1911 by WEI LI Under the Direction of Toshi Kii ABSTRACT The case of late Qing China is of great importance to theories of economic development. This study examines the question of why China’s industrialization was slow between 1865 and 1895 as compared to contemporary Japan’s. Industrialization is measured on four dimensions: sea transport, railway, communications, and the cotton textile industry. I trace the difference between China’s and Japan’s industrialization to government leadership, which includes three aspects: direct governmental investment, government policies at the macro-level, and specific measures and actions to assist selected companies and industries. -
Geography of 'The Secret History of the Mongols'
GEOGRAPHY OF ‘THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE MONGOLS’ Location of C13th Mongol Place Names and Topographical Features in NE Mongolia V. Pecchia RIBA, Dip Arch. Dip. Tp. 11/14/2010 In collaboration with the Dept. of Archaeology and Anthropology of Bristol University, Bristol, UK. [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT This paper examines the time and space relationship of events recorded in ‘The Secret History of the Mongols’ (SH) by reference to primary and secondary associated historical sources, available satellite imagery and the results of on the ground reconnaissance expeditions conducted in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The pre Chinghiss period of Temuchin’s life is irrevocably tied to NE Mongolia and in particular with the upper river basins of the rivers Kerulen and Onon, often referred to as ‘Ononkerule’, the homeland of 13th Century (C13th) Mongols. The expeditionary work carried out in this area, added to emerging historical evidence contributes significantly to the view that the SH accounts have real validity and can be geographically located. Since ‘The Secret History of the Mongols’ has become widely available in the public domain, considerable effort has been dedicated to identify the geographical locations of recorded events in the life of Temuchin. By the end of the C20th renowned Mongolists have advanced considerably the space time relationships of the pre Chinghiss Khan period of Temuchin’s life, with the geography of North East Mongolia. Notwithstanding these advances much remains to be investigated studied and tested, to dispel doubt and controversy. Definitive identification of key events, named locations and geographical features, such as the whereabouts of the Tunggelik, Tana, Sanguur Streams and Burgi Ereg (Ergi) to name some and perhaps even where Chinghiss’s sacred mountain Burkhan Khaldun is not, will significantly improve our understanding of C13th Mongol History for the benefit of the people of Mongolia and worldwide interest. -
Frontier Boomtown Urbanism: City Building in Ordos Municipality, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, 2001-2011
Frontier Boomtown Urbanism: City Building in Ordos Municipality, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, 2001-2011 By Max David Woodworth A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor You-tien Hsing, Chair Professor Richard Walker Professor Teresa Caldeira Professor Andrew F. Jones Fall 2013 Abstract Frontier Boomtown Urbanism: City Building in Ordos Municipality, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, 2001-2011 By Max David Woodworth Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Berkeley Professor You-tien Hsing, Chair This dissertation examines urban transformation in Ordos, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, between 2001 and 2011. The study is situated in the context of research into urbanization in China as the country moved from a mostly rural population to a mostly urban one in the 2000s and as urbanization emerged as a primary objective of the state at various levels. To date, the preponderance of research on Chinese urbanization has produced theory and empirical work through observation of a narrow selection of metropolitan regions of the eastern seaboard. This study is instead a single-city case study of an emergent center for energy resource mining in a frontier region of China. Intensification of coalmining in Ordos coincided with coal-sector reforms and burgeoning demand in the 2000s, which fueled rapid growth in the local economy during the study period. Urban development in a setting of rapid resource-based growth sets the frame in this study in terms of “frontier boomtown urbanism.” Urban transformation is considered in its physical, political, cultural, and environmental dimensions. -

1. Genghis Khan That Separate It from the Darkhad Valley to the West
1.1 Lake Khovsgol Lake Khovsgol is bounded by the Horidal-Saridag Mountains 1. Genghis Khan that separate it from the Darkhad Valley to the west. To the north EMPIRE AND LEGACY lie the Sayan Mountains, home to Mongolia’s Dukha (Tsaatan), an ethnic minority who are the southernmost reindeer herders in the world. The rippling raised William W. Fitzhugh shorelines etched into the peninsula record the gradual lowering of the lake from drying climate and increased erosion of its outlet. Khovsgol, at 1,645 meters elevation, holds some of the purest water in the world. Its output flows through Mongolia across the Russian border into Lake Baikal, and from there via the Angara and Yenisei Rivers to the Arctic Ocean. he terms “empire” and “imperial” are rarely heard in modern political discourse. Yet as the world transitions from a post-imperial era into an increasingly global era, knowledge of past empires can be instructive. In their empire, the Mongols controlled the largest contiguous landmass on Tone continent the world has ever known, challenged only by the scattered colo- nies of the British empire. But despite its huge size and phenomenal impact, this period of world history, which unfolded only two hundred years before Columbus encountered the New World, is barely known outside of Asia. Many recognize the name “Genghis Khan” as a Mongol warrior and empire-builder, but few know in which century he lived or his military and civic accomplishments. Fewer still know of his grandson Kublai, emperor of China, although some recognize the first line of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem of 1798, “Kubla Khan” (“In Xanadu did Kubla Khan / A stately pleasure-dome decree”) inspired by Marco Polo’s descriptions of his travels in China from 1275 to 1291. -

The Late Qing Xinzheng (New Policies) Reforms in Mongolia, 1901-1911 KI YIP YEE Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD 2017 Department of History SOAS, University of London Abstract The aim of this thesis is to analyse the nature, imposition and effects of the late Qing xinzheng 新政 reforms in Mongolia, and to analyze the episode from its historical roots till the dynasty’s demise in 1911. Put simply, xinzheng was a modernization drive implemented throughout the Qing empire in order to save the dynasty from irreversible decline and, to a certain extent, to emulate the astounding success of the Meiji reforms in neighbouring Japan. For the purpose of this thesis, the analysis has been subdivided into the categories of agrarian policy, administrative reform, training of new armies, establishment of modern schools, introduction of new enterprises, exploitation of natural resources, construction of railways, and establishment of postal and telegram services. -

The Peoples of Europe. In the early s, the memory of Genghis Khan underwent a powerful revival, partly in reaction to its suppression during the Mongolian People's Republic period. Lake Baikal and ocean were called tenggis by the Mongols. When the Jin ruler subsequently moved his court south to the city of Kaifeng, Genghis Khan took this as a breach of their agreement and, with the help of Jin deserters, sacked Zhongdu to the ground. When the Tatars grew too powerful after , the Jin switched their support from the Tatars to the Keraites. As was common for powerful Mongol men, Genghis Khan had many wives and concubines.

Journey Text and Recorded History Migration Of
THE JOURNEY OF MAN MODERN HOMO SAPIENS ARE TRACED TO ABOUT 60,000 YEARS AGO AND MIGRATORY PATHS PROVEN IN 2002 BY A GROUP OF AMERICAN GENETICISTS AND SCIENTISTS LED BY DR. SPENCER WELLS OF STANFORD UNIVERSITY MADE PUBLIC A TEN YEAR RESEARCH PROJECT. THEY FOLLOWED THE MALE “Y” CHROMOSOME AND THE GENETIC MARKERS IN NUCLEAR DNA TO TRACE THE CRADLE OF MANKIND TO CENTRAL AFRICA AND THE VILLAGE OF SAN WHICH IS NEAR RUNDU, NAMIBIA AND CONFIRMING THE “OUT OF AFRICA HYPOTHESIS”. ANOTHER GROUP OF 55,000 SANS PEOPLE PRESENTLY LIVING ALSO RESIDE IN BOTSWANA. TWO THOUSAND GENERATIONS BACK OR APPROXIMATELY 50,000 YEARS AGO THEY DISCOVERED THE DECENDENTS OF THE OLDEST TRIBE IN AFRICA AND THE BEGINNING OF MODERN MAN BASED ON COLLECTED NUCLEAR DNA AND GENETIC MARKERS FROM THOUSANDS OF BLOOD SAMPLES FROM POPULATIONS AROUND THE WORLD. SOME OF THESE SAME PEOPLE ‘SANS BUSHMEN’ WITH A POPULATION AT THAT TIME OF ABOUT 10,000 TOTAL AND THEIR DECENDENTS MOVED 1200 MILES SOUTH AND EAST IN AFRICA AND THEN PROCEED TO FOLLOW THE COASTLINE NORTH AND EASTWARD TO INDIA AND THEN ON DOWN THE COASTLINES TO SOUTHEAST ASIA TO AUSTRALIA. THEY VERIFIED ONE OF THE OLDEST SETTLEMENTS ON THE WEST SIDE OF MADERAI, INDIA ABOUT 200 MILES NORTH OF THE COASTLINE TO MATCH THE “Y” CHROMOSOME OF THE CENTRAL AFRICANS AND A VERIFICATION WAS ALSO PROVIDED ON THE AUSTRALIAN MONGO ABORIGINE PEOPLE DNA TO BE ON A TIMELINE ABOUT 10,000 YEARS AFTER THE CENTRAL AFRICANS.
