Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The course will introduce to the participants the crucial events of the history of Chinese-Tibetan relations in the 20th century with special focus on the religious policy towards Tibetan Buddhism which has represented an important issue of the Chinese Tibet policy. The course will focus on two central issues: 1) the question of continuity/discontinuity of Chinese Tibet Policy in the Imperial (pre-1911), Republican (1912-1949) and Communist (post-1949) period; 2) the place of Tibetan Buddhism in the context of general religious policy of the Chinese state in comparison with other state tolerated religions (e.g. Islam, Christianity). The analysis of the developments during the 20th century will provide a necessary background for discussions about the future developments.
