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.
