| Description | Following an analysis, that all societies are semi-open and not open or closed, this paper was firstly summarizing factors, why Mongolia remained a privileged country even in the 20th century. The network of Mongolian international relations strengthened or newly created in this period was later enabling peaceful transition and also development of a scholarly field dedicated to Mongolia. Main part was following the question of the perspective of development in time. It provides more options how to approach the processes of change vs. continuity of cultural patterns. While particular focuses on short-term periods tend to mention significant changes given by outer conditions, the long-term perspective allows to focus on the continuity of more generations and on more basic cultural patterns. While the first focus is sometimes connected to selected developmental issues, the second wider view is showing long-term principles and well working side of Mongolian society. |
