Features: "Between Hegemonies" is not merely a geographical term for the Eurasian continent, but also points to the historical fact that exists between the hegemony of Asia and Europe—that is, the dominance of nomadic production methods between the hegemony of agricultural and industrial production methods. This book, starting from the perspective of geopolitical economy, reclassifies the Eurasian continent according to production types and examines the development issues of the Eurasian heartland within the global system. Through an analysis of the historical and contemporary development of the Asian continent's heartland, it elucidates the historical logic between the global system and the development of the Eurasian heartland. Furthermore, it conducts both static and dynamic geopolitical relationship analyses of the Eurasian heartland, particularly Mongolia, under the framework of the global system, thereby clarifying the fundamental trajectory and direction of development in the Eurasian heartland, especially Mongolia.
