Dr. Alfred Gerstl, MIR i Abstract The relations between the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of India have been fluidly moving between hostility over their persisting border conflicts and coopera- tion through growing trade and engagement in a range of bilateral and multilateral fora. Today they are the emerging economies with the biggest consumer markets in the world, after China began their economic liberalization in the late 1970s followed by India in the early 1990s. The aim of this master’s thesis is to discuss the developments of the Sino- Indian relations and to identify issues and trends that will shape the future of their rela- tions. The analysis is based on the contradictions of Kenneth Waltz’ theory of structural realism with Robert Keohane and Joseph Nye’s concept of complex interdependence. Whereas India and China are involved in a classic security dilemma over the disputed border and increasingly compete over resources and markets, their bilateral relations are characterized by pragmatism and the awareness that they both are progressively engaged far beyond Asia within the world economy and global governance networks. The case studies on the Tibet factor and the access to the Indian Ocean are exemplary for their diverse bilateral relations. In conclusion, this thesis argues that China has garnered much more economic and political power than India because their reforms have been much more thorough. Nonetheless India remains an important counterweight to China’s grow- ing power in Asia and worldwide because of its expanding diplomatic and economic net- works. Kurzfassung The Beziehungen zwischen der Volksrepublik China und der Republik Indien bewegen sich fließend zwischen Feindseligkeit wegen der andauernden Grenzkonflikte und Ko- operation durch wachsenden Handel und Teilhabe in einer Reihe bilateraler und multila- teraler Foren. Indien und China sind heute die beiden Schwellenländer mit den größten Verbrauchermärkten weltweit, nachdem Chinas wirtschaftliche Liberalisierung in den späten 1970ern begann und Indien in den frühen 1990ern folgte. Das Ziel dieser Master- arbeit ist die Entwicklungen der chinesisch-indischen Beziehungen zu diskutieren und zukünftige Probleme und Trends zu identifizieren. Die Analyse basiert auf den Wider- sprüchen zwischen Kenneth Waltz Theorie des strukturellen Realismus und Robert Ke- ohanes und Joseph Nyes Konzept der komplexen Interdependenz. Obwohl Indien und China in einem klassischen Sicherheitsdilemma verwickelt sind wegen ihrer strittigen Grenze und der wachsenden Konkurrenz über Ressourcen und Märkte, sind ihre bilate- ralen Beziehungen gezeichnet von Pragmatismus und dem Bewusstsein, dass beide weit über Asien hinaus immer intensiver in der Weltwirtschaft und Global Governance Netz- werken involviert sind. Die Fallstudien zum Faktor Tibet und dem Zugang zum indischen Ozean sind exemplarisch für ihre vielfältigen bilateralen Beziehungen. Abschließend lässt sich sagen, dass China deutlich mehr wirtschaftliche und politische Macht als Indien er- langt hat, da seine Reformen wesentlich tiefgreifender waren. Nichtsdestotrotz bleibt In- dien ein wichtiges Gegengewicht zu Chinas wachsender Macht in Asien und der Welt wegen seiner wachsenden diplomatischen und wirtschaftlichen Netzwerke. ii iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS .................................................................................. 1 LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ................................................................................. 2 INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................. 3 CHAPTER ONE -

  • Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939
    Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939 William M. Coleman, IV Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2014 © 2013 William M. Coleman, IV All rights reserved Abstract Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939 William M. Coleman, IV This dissertation analyzes the process of state building by Qing imperial representatives and Republican state officials in Batang, a predominantly ethnic Tibetan region located in southwestern Sichuan Province. Utilizing Chinese provincial and national level archival materials and Tibetan language works, as well as French and American missionary records and publications, it explores how Chinese state expansion evolved in response to local power and has three primary arguments. First, by the mid-nineteenth century, Batang had developed an identifiable structure of local governance in which native chieftains, monastic leaders, and imperial officials shared power and successfully fostered peace in the region for over a century. Second, the arrival of French missionaries in Batang precipitated a gradual expansion of imperial authority in the region, culminating in radical Qing military intervention that permanently altered local understandings of power. While short-lived, centrally-mandated reforms initiated soon thereafter further integrated Batang into the Qing Empire, thereby

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.

  • The British Expedition to Sikkim of 1888: the Bhutanese Role
    i i i i West Bohemian Historical Review VIII j 2018 j 2 The British Expedition to Sikkim of 1888: The Bhutanese Role Matteo Miele∗ In 1888, a British expedition in the southern Himalayas represented the first direct con- frontation between Tibet and a Western power. The expedition followed the encroach- ment and occupation, by Tibetan troops, of a portion of Sikkim territory, a country led by a Tibetan Buddhist monarchy that was however linked to Britain with the Treaty of Tumlong. This paper analyses the role of the Bhutanese during the 1888 Expedi- tion. Although the mediation put in place by Ugyen Wangchuck and his allies would not succeed because of the Tibetan refusal, the attempt remains important to under- stand the political and geopolitical space of Bhutan in the aftermath of the Battle of Changlimithang of 1885 and in the decades preceding the ascent to the throne of Ugyen Wangchuck. [Bhutan; Tibet; Sikkim; British Raj; United Kingdom; Ugyen Wangchuck; Thirteenth Dalai Lama] In1 1907, Ugyen Wangchuck2 was crowned king of Bhutan, first Druk Gyalpo.3 During the Younghusband Expedition of 1903–1904, the fu- ture sovereign had played the delicate role of mediator between ∗ Kokoro Research Center, Kyoto University, 46 Yoshida-shimoadachicho Sakyo-ku, Kyoto, 606-8501, Japan.

    Kingship Ideology in Sino-Tibetan Diplomacy during the VII-IX centuries Emanuela Garatti In this paper I would like to approach the question of the btsan-po’s figure and his role in the international exchanges like embassies, peace agreements and matrimonial alliances concluded between the Tibetan and the Tang during the Tibetan Empire. In order to do that, I examine some passages of Tibetan and Chinese sources. Tibetan ancient documents, like PT 1287, the PT 1288, the IOL Tib j 750 and the text of the Sino-Tibetan treaty of 821/822. For the Chinese sources I used the encyclopaedia Cefu yuangui which has never been extensively used in the study of the Tibetan ancient history. Concerning the embassies one can see that they are dispatched with important gifts when the btsan-po want to present a request. Those are registered as tribute (ch. chaogong) by the Chinese authors but one can assume, analysing the dates of embassies that the Tibetan emissaries are sent to the court with presents only when they had to present a specific request from the Tibetan emperor. Moreover, the btsan-po is willing to accept the diplomatic codes but refuses all attempt of submission from the Chinese authorities like the “fish-bag” (ch. yudai) proposed to the Tibetan ambassadors as a normal gift. For the treaties, the texts of these agreements show the evolution of the position of the btsan-po towards the Chinese court and the international diplomacy: the firsts pacts see the dominant position of Tang court over the btsan-po’s delegation.
