metadata.value: The article describes the legislation on the delimitation of the territories of aimags and banners
  operating in the Northern (Khalkh) Mongolia in the XVIII–XIX centuries during the period of
  its being part of the Qing Empire. The adoption of these standards was aimed at creating the legal
  prerequisites for planting in Mongolia the system of administrative-territorial division, in charge
  of the political interests of the Imperial authorities. Responsibility for approving and monitoring
  compliance with the order of the territories` delimitation were within the competence of the Central
  government of the Qing Empire. The intersection of the approved border lines without official
  authorization were banned for all Mongols, including representatives of higher social strata. However,
  the Qing legislation awakened among the population of Mongolian aimags and banners the desire
  for better synchronization of their economic and social activities with a well-defined geographical
  area. The mechanism of such synchronization has acted largely through the efforts implemented by
  the representatives of Khalkh nobility. Their administrative authority and management options, but
  not the power of arms (as it was in Mongolia before the Qing period), became the main force that
  guaranteed the ownership and disposition of the pasture lands. As a result the social status of the
  Khalkh princes acquired additional weight, and their administrative powers in relation to subordinate
  population have been filled with new important content, unusual for nomadic traditions, that existed
  before the Qing period. It follows that the Mongolian land law reform in fact led to the consequences
  which in many respects was contrary to the political interests of the Qing Empire authorities, by whom
  those reforms were initiated. Refs 29.
