The Inner Asia book series is published in association with the Mongolia and Inner Asia Studies Unit (MIASU), Cambridge. MIASU was founded in 1986 as a group within the Department of Social Anthropology to promote research and teaching relating to Mongolia and Inner Asia on an interdisciplinary basis. The unit aims to promote and encourage study of this important region within and without the University of Cambridge, and to provide training and support for research to all those concerned with its understanding.
Together with the Inner Asia journal, the book series provides a research-oriented forum in which scholars can address the contemporary and historical problems of the region.
