Yet, despite their proximity, their practical, local interactions with each other -- and with their third neighbour Mongolia -- are rarely discussed. The three countries share a boundary, but their traditions, languages and worldviews are remarkably different. Frontier Encounters presents a wide range of views on how the borders between these unique countries are enacted, produced, and crossed. It sheds light on global uncertainties: China's search for energy resources and the employment of its huge population, Russia's fear of Chinese migration, and the precarious economic independence of Mongolia as its neighbours negotiate to extract its plentiful resources. Bringing together anthropologists, sociologists and economists, this timely collection of essays offers new perspectives on an area that is currently of enormous economic, strategic and geo-political relevance. This collective volume is the outcome of a network project funded by the ESRC (RES-075-25_0022) entitled 'Where Empires Meet: The Border Economies of Russia, China and Mongolia'. The project, based at the Mongolia and Inner Asia Studies Unit (University of Cambridge), ran from 28 January 2010 to 27 January 2011"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aEast Asia, Far East$2bicssc 607 $aSoviet Union$xBoundaries 607 $aChina$xBoundaries 607 $aMongolia$xBoundaries 610 $arussia 610 $aasia 610 $amongolia 610 $aanthropology 610 $ainternational relations 610 $achina 610 $aBuryats 610 $aCossacks 610 $aEreen 610 $aDornod 610 $aQing dynasty 610 $aSoviet Union 615 7$aEast Asia, Far East 676 $a327.51047 700 $aHumphrey$b Caroline$4edt$0245614 701 $aBille?$b Franck$0891383 701 $aDelaplace$b Gre?gory$0891384 701 $aHumphrey$b Caroline$0245614 712 02$aOpen Book Publishers, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910141559803321 996 $aFrontier encounters$91991006 997 $aUNINA
