The Future of Tibet : The Government-in-Exile Meets the Challenge of Democratization (2 Revised edition)

This book discusses the emergence of democracy's modernizing force in an exiled community with a political history based on a feudal theocracy.

Since his exile almost forty years ago, the Dalai Lama and his government-in-exile have steered this fledgling democratic community toward the fulfillment of his dream of converting a theocracy to a democracy.

The establishment of a tripartite government with separate powers and the development of a framework for a future democratic polity - if and when Tibetans regain their land - is a testament to the ongoing democratizing revolution.
