Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The vast steppe region of Inner Asia is historically dominated by Mongol culture, Buddhist-shamanist religion and an economy based on mobile pastoralism. Now, as its constituent states - China, Russia and Mongolia - adapt to market conditions, this long-standing cultural economic zone is seen to be facing more radical change than at any previous time in its past.
