In this dissertation, I examine how categories of bondage in Khalkha Mongolia changed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries due to factors internal to Mongolian society as well as external factors such as Qing administration and the environment. I use Mongolian, Manchu, and Chinese archival and published materials related to law, economy, ethnography, and history to excavate the mechanics of social change. I argue that slaves and other bonded groups of people who were marginal to banner society were subsumed into the category of fiscally productive commoners. This happened for reasons including survival strategies of slaves and slaveowners as well as the Qing administration's efforts to curtail tax avoidance. In the nineteenth century, successive climatic disasters also led the Qing state to shift its relief and public finance policies from horizontal redistribution to a vertical model that extracted resources from local aristocracy and clergy and redistributed them to lower-status level groups. This shift pushed members of the privileged, aristocratic class into functional parity with commoners, a process which the aristocracy resented. Women and illegitimate children, who were juridically marginal to banner society, came to fill in some of the socially stigmatized roles that bonded people previously held.Previous scholarship about eighteenth and nineteenth-century Mongolia attributed social change to Manchu and Chinese oppression and to the resistance of nomad people to change or denied that there was significant social change in this period. I contend that Mongolian society underwent significant changes in this period that had important, lasting ramifications for Mongolian history and society, and that these changes were multi-directional, neither simply imposed by the state nor simply reactions of tradition. This study also contributes to the study of slavery in comparative and global contexts and brings Mongolian history into larger conversations about social processes of bondage, release, and (always) imperfect emancipations.
