Alien regimes and border states, 907-1368
Herbert Franke (Editor), Denis Crispin Twitchett (Editor)
This volume deals with four non-Chinese regimes: the Khitan dynasty of Liao; the Tangut state of Hsi Hsia; the Jurchen empire of Chin; the Mongolian Yüan dynasty that eventually engulfed China. It investigates the background from which these regimes emerged and shows how each set up viable institutions for the control of a multi-racial, multi-lingual, and multi-cultural population.
