Originating from a series of papers written by Prof. Noh Tae-don over two decades of research, Korea's Ancient Koguryo Kingdom: A Socio-Political History concentrates on the political and social aspects of what was the largest of the Proto-Korean nation-states (37 BCE to 668 CE) that finally succumbed to subversion and invasion thirteen centuries ago. Its legendary origins are dealt with from the standpoint of their long-term political implications, as are its social institutions such as levirate marriage. Explored in detail are the convoluted diplomatic, military, and commercial relations with various Chinese dynasties as well as Japan, and the shifting powers in Manchuria, Mongolia, and Central Asia. In addition, perhaps for the first time anywhere, the Koguryo national and provincial administrative structures are described as they evolved over the seven centuries of the nation's existence. Exhaustive documentation is provided throughout.
