This book provides a detailed account of the structure and
political strategies of the Tibetan government-in exile, the
Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), in northern India. Since its
founding in 1959, it has been led by the 14th Dalai Lama who
struggles to regain the Tibetan homeland. Based on a theoretical
approach on exile organizations - and extensive empirical studies
in Asia - this book discusses CTA's political strategies to gain
national loyalty, and international support, in order to secure its
own organizational survival and the ultimate goal: the return to
Tibet. The book is organized around the two fundamental questions:
firstly, how the CTA fosters its claims to be the sole
representative of all Tibetans over the last decades in exile; and,
secondly, which policies have been carried out in order to regain
the homeland. The book is divided into four substantial chapters:
the historical background, providing a review of pre-1959 political
Tibet a theoretical section which covers the critical position of
exile organizations an examination of the exile Tibetan community
and government from the early years an analysis of crucial CTA
policies. Innovative and unique, this book combines a political
science approach with Tibetan studies to analyse exile-Tibetan
politics in particular, and exile governments in general.
