  • INNER ASIAN WAYS of WARFARE in HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Nicola Di Cosmo the Military Side Of
    INTRODUCTION: INNER ASIAN WAYS OF WARFARE IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Nicola Di Cosmo The military side of the "expansion of Europe" has been closely associated, especially in the writings of historians such as Geoffrey Parker, with the technological and tactical transformation of the European battlefields and fortifications known as the "military rev­ olution." Mastery of sophisticated weapons gave Europe's armies a distinct advantage that allowed them to prevail-by and large-in military confrontations against extra-European societies, perhaps slowly and accidentally at first, but rather effectively and purposefully from at least the late eighteenth century onward. Only certain areas of the world were not penetrated or dominated quite as effectively, and these are the areas identified by Halford J. Mackinder, the influential geographer, politician, and military theoretician, as the "heartland" of Eurasia, defined as the "pivot of history."' The heartland was inac­ cessible to sea-power, and yet could be easily crossed, in antiquity, by horsemen and camelmen, and later on by the railways. Mackinder recognized the historical role played by the steppes of Central Asia in military terms, and regarded Russia as the successor to the Mongols, that is, a power endowed with the same advantages and limitations as the great Eurasian empires created by the Inner Asian nomads. If, according to "pivot" theory, the larger currents of world history­ especially military history-have revolved for ages around the heart­ land of Eurasia (or Central Eurasia, or even Inner Eurasia),2 one can also say that the geopolitical rationale of this theory is not negated 1 An abridged version of Mackinder's theory has been recently reprinted in a voluminous anthology of military history: Gerard Chaliand, 1he Art ef War in World History, pp.

  • CORE STRENGTH WITHIN MONGOL DIASPORA COMMUNITIES Archaeological Evidence Places Early Stone Age Human Habitation in the Southern
    CORE STRENGTH WITHIN MONGOL DIASPORA COMMUNITIES Archaeological evidence places early Stone Age human habitation in the southern Gobi between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago 1. While they were nomadic hunter-gatherers it is believed that they migrated to southern Asia, Australia, and America through Beringia 50,000 BP. This prehistoric migration played a major role in fundamental dispersion of world population. As human migration was an essential part of human evolution in prehistoric era the historical mass dispersions in Middle Age and Modern times brought a significant influence on political and socioeconomic progress throughout the world and the latter has been studied under the Theory of Diaspora. This article attempts to analyze Mongol Diaspora and its characteristics. The Middle Age-Mongol Diaspora started by the time of the Great Mongol Empire was expanding from present-day Poland in the west to Korea in the east and from Siberia in the north to the Gulf of Oman and Vietnam in the south. Mongols were scattered throughout the territory of the Great Empire, but the disproportionately small number of Mongol conquerors compared with the masses of subject peoples and the change in Mongol cultural patterns along with influence of foreign religions caused them to fell prey to alien cultures after the decline of the Empire. As a result, modern days Hazara communities in northeastern Afghanistan and a small group of Mohol/Mohgul in India, Daur, Dongxiang (Santa), Monguor or Chagaan Monggol, Yunnan Mongols, Sichuan Mongols, Sogwo Arig, Yugur and Bonan people in China are considered as descendants of Mongol soldiers, who obeyed their Khaan’s order to safeguard the conquered area and waited in exceptional loyalty.

Image reproduced under a Creative Commons license, courtesy of Bernard Thaller on Flickr.com The Newsletter | No.70 | Spring 2015 24 | The Focus Central and Inner Asia On 5-6 August 2014, a group of sixteen scholars from America, Central /Inner Asia and Europe, came together in the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar to discuss the growing challenges posed to independent knowledge production and knowledge transfer in and on Central/Inner Asia. The seminar was organised in the context of a large-scale three-year (2014-2016) programme on the subject of ‘Rethinking Asian Studies in a Global Context’, managed by the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) (Leiden, the Netherlands) and funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in New York. Within the framework of this overarching programme, the Ulaanbaatar seminar was designed to strengthen the dialogue between American/European and Central/Inner Asian scholars in a rapidly changing world, in which new challenges are being faced by the emergence of new states, new alliances, new world views and national narratives, new modes of information collection and transfer, but also by diminishing interest in Central/Inner Asian studies in America and a reduction in available funds for research worldwide.

He is a researcher at Instituto do Oriente in Lisbon. His research focuses on China’s presence in Central Asia, energy security, Great Powers’ competition for access to oil and gas in Central Asia, among other issues Abstract This article aims to highlight the major historical and geopolitical characteristics of Central Asia, a region that led authors like Brzezinski1 to state that "whoever controls that space, will rule the planet", linking, on the other hand, the durability of American hegemony to Washington policy in the region. Why is Central Asia important in the international system? The central argument is that this is a region of major importance in the current economic arena as a result of its history, geography and strategic position as a link between East and West, a space of competition and reinforcement of the great powers.

Modern Kalmyk language is one of the languages of Mongolian language group, one of the language successors of Oirat language. Two types of borrowed lexicon can be distinguished in it, depending on the path of its penetration: lexicon, borrowed directly, as a result of contacts of Kalmyks and their ancestors-oyrates with other peoples, as well as those lexical units that penetrated into the Kalmyk language through the recipient languages: Türkic, Ugrian, Tungus and others.

  • The Contingencies Ofstate Formation in Eastern Inner Asia
    The Contingencies of State Formation in Eastern Inner Asia J. DANIEL ROGERS INTRODUCTION THE STEPPES, DESERTS, AND MOUNTAINS OF EASTERN INNER ASIA provide the backdrop for the rise and expansion of a complex series of states and empires. The polities that originated in the expansive territory encompassing northern China, Mongolia, and surrounding regions of Siberia and eastern Kazakhstan often played a central role in Asian and world history. In the analysis of the ori­ gins and development of these early states and empires, several long-standing points of articulation continue to define the differences between prominent theories of political and cultural changes in Inner Asia. This article identifies sev­ eral key issues and evaluates the nature of existing evidence for each within the context ofgeneral theories of state and empire formation. Recent research on the formation of early states and empires raises several crit­ ical issues relevant for eastern Inner Asia (Alcock et a1. 2001; Baines and Yoffee 1998; Bondarenko and Korotayev 2000; Claessen and Oosten 1996; Richards and Van Buren 2000; Stein 1998). Although these studies concern diverse regions of the world, all place considerable emphasis on both the internal and external workings ofsocieties to explain large-scale changes. At the same time, the contin­ gencies of history are not treated as a mere chronicle of change but as an active agent connected to shifts in ideas, values, and social outcomes. The overall result is an approach that rests on an increasingly dynamic interplay of factors, some of which are dependent on the decisions made by individual actors and others by the convergence of particular historical trajectories, economic capabilities, and environmental constraints.
