The history of Tibet has long intrigued the world, and so has the dilemma of its future—will it ever return to independence or will it always remain part of China? How will the succession of the aging and revered Dalai Lama affect Tibet and the world? This book makes the case for a fully Tibetan independent state for much of its 2,500-year existence, but its story is a complex one. A great empire from the seventh to ninth centuries, in 1249, Tibet was incorporated as a territory of the Mongol Empire—which annexed China itself in 1279. Tibet reclaimed its independence from China in 1368, and although the Manchus later exerted their direct influence in Tibetan affairs, by 1840 Tibet began to resume its independent course until communist China invaded in 1950. And since that time, Tibetan nationalism has been maintained primarily by over 100,000 refugees living abroad. This book is a valuable, fascinating account of a region with a rich history, but an uncertain future.

Regional Autonomy, Cultural Diversity and Differentiated Territorial Government assesses the current state of the international theory and practice of autonomy in order to pursue the possibility of regional self-government in Tibet. Initiated by a workshop and roundtable with political representatives from different autonomous regions, including His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, this book brings together a group of distinguished international scholars to offer a much-needed enquiry into solutions to the Tibetan quest for ‘genuine’ autonomy. Examining the Chinese framework of regional self-government, along with key international cases of autonomy in Europe, North America and Asia, the contributors to this volume offer a comprehensive context for the consideration of both Tibetan demands and Chinese worries. Their insights will be invaluable to academics, practitioners, diplomats, civil servants, government representatives, international organisations and NGOs interested in the theory and practice of autonomy, as well as those concerned with the future of Tibet.

This resource revisits the Nyemo incident, which has long been romanticised as the epitome of Tibetan nationalist resistance against China. The authors show that far from being a spontaneous battle for independence, this event was actually part of a struggle between rival revolutionary groups and was not ethnically based.

This book explores the synergy between development and conflict in the Tibetan areas of Western China from the mid-1990s onward, when rapid economic growth occurred alongside a particularly assimilationist policy approach. Based on accessible economic analysis and extensive interdisciplinary fieldwork, it represents one of the only macro-level and systemic analyses of its kind in the scholarship on Tibet, and also holds much interest for those interested in China and in development and conflict more generally.

Only fifty years ago, Tibetan medicine, now seen in China as a vibrant aspect of Tibetan culture, was considered a feudal vestige to be eliminated through government-led social transformation. Medicine and Memory in Tibet examines medical revivalism on the geographic and sociopolitical margins both of China and of Tibet�s medical establishment in Lhasa, exploring the work of medical practitioners, or amchi, and of Medical Houses in the west-central region of Tsang. Due to difficult research access and the power of state institutions in the writing of history, the perspectives of more marginal amchi have been absent from most accounts of Tibetan medicine. Theresia Hofer breaks new ground both theoretically and ethnographically, in ways that would be impossible in today�s more restrictive political climate that severely limits access for researchers. She illuminates how medical practitioners safeguarded their professional heritage through great adversity and personal hardship.

Theocratic nation Tibet lost its identity and also headed towards the destruction of its religion and culture after its illegal occupation by the PRC. How great countries like Great Britain, the United States, India, and other world powers of 1950 including the UNO acted with total indifference and lack of concern, makes a painful episode. The most intriguing was India's myopic Tibet policy. Sharing a border that stretched close to 3,500 km from east to west, Tibet was of vital strategic importance to its security interests. Amazingly, India's actions revealed the bankruptcy of incisive intellect by newly raised Indian Foreign stalwarts under the leadership of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Great Britain that had commercially exploited Tibet by imposing unfair trade conventions and had recognized it as a free nation, unabashedly decided to dump the history and act as if Tibet had never existed. President Roosevelt in 1942 wrote to the Dalai Lama seeking assistance to use the Tibetan territories to supply the Nationalist forces of China, Tibet willingly offered full assistance. However, later to please China the US Department of States disowned Tibet's freedom. To cover the up the exchange of letter between heads of two states, that is President and the Dalai Lama, the US foreign policy stalwarts came up with an ingenious but ruefully solution. It was asserted that the letter was addressed to the Dalai Lama, the spiritual head of Tibet and not to the secular head. Nothing could have more ridiculous and unimaginative. It is painful that same set of stalwarts unabashedly scuttled the possibility of averting Korean War by failing to correctly and objectively appreciate Tibet's strategic importance. The price paid was 62,446 dead/missing, 103, 84 wounded and 3746 taken prisoners. The UN role in taking suitable and timely action to protect Tibet against aggression by the PRC was revelation of its intrinsic weaknesses and partisan approach. The critical issue about Tibet is its future. Will it be ever possible for Tibet to regain its lost position and become a rightful member of the international polity? Immediate response in the majority of the cases would be "No." However, it should not be forgotten that history is witness to the fact that any number of empires emerged, and no empire howsoever vast or strong lasted forever. Interestingly, by and large, they fell not under pressure from external forces but mostly by internal dissensions. Nations that had lost their freedom resurrected to occupy their rightful place. Tibet, with its compassionate and humble but brave and daring people, led by not only spiritually enlightened but also an experienced and pragmatic statesman the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, has by his persistent effort over six decades has laid a sound groundwork to ensure its resurgence at the right time.

At different times in its history Tibet has been renowned for pacifism and martial prowess, enlightenment and cruelty. The Dalai Lama may be the only religious leader who can inspire the devotion of agnostics. Patrick French has been fascinated by Tibet since he was a teenager. He has read its history, agitated for its freedom, and risked arrest to travel through its remote interior. His love and knowledge inform every page of this learned, literate, and impassioned book. Talking with nomads and Buddhist nuns, exiles and collaborators, French portrays a nation demoralized by a half-century of Chinese occupation and forced to depend on the patronage of Western dilettantes. He demolishes many of the myths accruing to Tibet–including those centering around the radiant figure of the Dalai Lama. Combining the best of history, travel writing, and memoir, Tibet, Tibet is a work of extraordinary power and insight.
