Research objectives: The Cambridge University Press published a fundamental two-volume work, “The Cambridge History of the Mongol Empire”, at the end of 2023. About 40 researchers, mainly from Western countries, were involved in its writing. The article analyzes this collective monograph, its strengths and weaknesses, and its significance for world science. Research materials: When analyzing the two-volume work, special attention was paid to sources and literature published outside of English-speaking countries. Considering that in addition to Western research, Mongolian studies are developed in China, Russia, Japan, Eastern European countries, and finally, in Mongolia, the work focused on how the contribution of researchers from these countries is assessed in the collective monograph under consideration. The degree of use of archaeological materials is also assessed. Results and novelty of the research: An analysis of modern Western literature on the topic of the Mongol Empire was carried out. The priority areas and the most important achievements are highlighted, and the need for a deeper understanding of the issues under consideration – to expand current information through the use of published sources and literature in Asian and Eastern European languages – is shown.
