Title Negotiations in the Diaspora: Diagnosing Tibetan Exile Politics
Summary This thesis seeks to situate the issues regarding the Tibetan sovereignty question and Tibetan diaspora mobilization within the wider debate of ethnic bargaining and Diaspora politics to get the bigger picture of what factors influence the changes and negotiations that occur within the Tibetan Diaspora. In order to get a clear picture and allow for ease of analysis, the case study would be divided based on time focusing on the three main time periods where demands and mobilization capacity of the Tibetan diaspora varied greatly, showing that the former is driven by the latter and further speculates on the conditions under which the diaspora can and can not influence the minority. Identifying root causes of relative Tibetan mobilization in each time period allows for a greater understanding of the factors that influenced shifts in Tibetan mobilization against the Chinese state. Finally, concluding remarks with policy advice to the Central Tibetan Administration and other major actors with the diaspora will be presented based on the findings.
