Tibetan Government-in-Exile: Politics at Large

The Tibetan government-in-exile, the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) is the focus of this book. This exile government is set up in northern India, and it is lead by the 14th Dalai Lama, who since 1959 has been struggling to regain the Tibetan homeland. Based on a theoretical on exile organizations and extensive empirical studies in India and Nepal, this book discusses the political strategies of the CTA to gain national loyalty and international support in order to secure its own organizational survival and at last to reach the final goal: to return to Tibet. Covering the historical background to the subject and taking into account theoretical considerations, the author then portrays the exile Tibetan community and the Tibetan government-in-exile and provides an analysis of the policies of the CTA. Innovative and unique, this book combines a political science approach with Tibetan studies to analyse exile Tibetan politics.Roemer, Stephanie is the author of 'Tibetan Government-in-Exile: Politics at Large' with ISBN 9780415451710 and ISBN 041545171X.
