内容説明
Written by two former diplomats, this work is the first in-depth analysis of the political relationship between the United States and Mongolia. The study elucidates why, despite over a hundred years of substantive interactions between the two countries, the establishment of formal diplomatic relations did not occur until 1987. This saga, full of exotic characters, setbacks and serendipitous events, involves the rise of the U.S. to superpower status in world politics and the tortuous road to full independence for the landlocked Asian nation of Mongolia. This was a journey that was influenced by the actions of China and Russia, who for decades played their own 'Great Game' in north Asia and manipulated the ignorance of Americans and Mongols in order to block the development of meaningful relations. The two authors, female diplomats for their respective countries, detail through newly discovered archival and declassified documents, the interference by these outside powers as well as the failures and false starts which delayed the inevitable creation of a successful partnership between the U.S. and Mongolia.This analysis will make a positive contribution to both American diplomatic history and Northeast Asian history, and will appeal to historians and scholars in East Asian and Cold War studies.
