ABSTRACT The Tibetan refugee issue is one of the critical problems for Nepal due to its geo-political and security implications. The 20,000 Tibetans, who are already in Nepal and the thousands of Tibetans who want to cross the Himalayas, either to remain in Nepal illegally or transit to India to join the Tibetan Government in Exile (TGIE) are a matter of concern for all the three neighboring countries. China considers the Tibetan exiles as separatists and urges Nepal to close the route to India whereas India welcomes the Tibetan refugees and provides asylum. This geo-political rivalry between the two historic rivals puts Nepal in a great diplomatic dilemma to handle the case of Tibetan refugees. Nepal has not ratified any of the United Nations conventions for refugees and thus deprives itself a legal means for resolving the asylum questions. Tibetan demonstrations for “Free Tibet Campaign” and self-immolation acts have exacerbated the security challenges for Nepal. Of note, Nepal had a bitter history of Tibetan guerilla operations from its soil against the Chinese government. Against this backdrop, Nepal needs to identify the better solution to mitigate the Tibetan refugee problem as soon as possible in order to prevent itself from being a proxy state of the rival neighboring countries. 15.

The Tibetan refugee issue is one of the critical problems for Nepal due to its geo-political and security implications. The 20,000 Tibetans, who are already in Nepal and the thousands of Tibetans who want to cross the Himalayas, either to remain in Nepal illegally or transit to India to join the Tibetan Government in Exile (TGIE) are a matter of concern for all the three neighboring countries. China considers the Tibetan exiles as separatists and urges Nepal to close the route to India whereas India welcomes the Tibetan refugees and provides asylum. This geo-political rivalry between the two historic rivals puts Nepal in a great diplomatic dilemma to handle the case of Tibetan refugees. Nepal has not ratified any of the United Nations conventions for refugees and thus deprives itself of means for resolving asylum claims. Tibetan demonstrations for “Free Tibet Campaign” and self-immolation acts have exacerbated the security challenges for Nepal. Of note, Nepal had a bitter history of Tibetan guerilla operations from its soil against the Chinese government. Against this backdrop, Nepal needs to identify the better solution to mitigate the Tibetan refugee problem as soon as possible in order to prevent itself from being a proxy state of the rival neighboring countries. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This research could not have been possible without the support and guidance from the members of my thesis committee.

This monumental study is a path-breaking contribution to our understanding of modern Tibet. Melvyn Goldstein has marshalled an impressive array of documentary, archival and interview sources to provide critical new insights into the political and diplomatic history of Tibet during its independence of Chinese domination. Particularly important is the author’s use of Tibetan sources to go beyond the question of Tibet’s relation to China, and narrate in detail the conflicts within Tibetan society: between monastic and lay elements, between reformers and conservatives, between rival regents’ cliques.

Without his generous supports, encouragements, discussions and comments, this dissertation may never appear. I appreciate the help and support from the whole faculty of Social Sciences Department at Loughborough University, especially the administrator Deirdre Lombard who is always willing to help under all conditions. I am also very grateful for the support from all my personal friends at Loughborough, including Lingqi Kong, Mingxi Yin, Hui-Ju Tsai, Xue Li, Zhijia Yang, Edward Winward, Miaoshan Pan, Jiacheng Zhen, Fabia Lin and Harry Gui. In the process of this research, they not only kept with me very insightful academic communications but also shared with me their warmest friendship which helped me move on in the darkest moments. My PhD life at Loughborough would be very dull and colorless without them around. Last but not the least, I would like to thank my parents for their selfless love, understanding, and endless support for me for my entire life, without which I could impossibly achieve what I have accomplished today. i TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

  • Hu Jintao: the Making of a Chinese General Secretary Richard Daniel
    Hu Jintao: The Making of a Chinese General Secretary Richard Daniel Ewing ABSTRACT Chinese Vice-President Hu Jintao, Jiang Zemin’s heir apparent, has risen to the elite levels of Chinese politics through skill and a diverse network of political patrons. Hu’s political career spans four decades, and he has been associated with China’s top leaders, including Song Ping, Hu Yaobang, Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin. Though marked early as a liberal by his ties to Hu Yaobang, Hu Jintao’s conservative credentials were fashioned during the imposition of martial law in Tibet in 1989. Those actions endeared him to the Beijing leadership following the 4 June Tiananmen Square crackdown, and his career accelerated in the 1990s. Young, cautious and talented, Hu catapulted to the Politburo Standing Committee, the vice-presidency and the Central Military Commission. Despite recent media attention, Hu’s positions on economic and foreign policy issues remain poorly defined. As the 16th Party Congress approaches, Hu is likely to be preparing to become General Secretary of the Communist Party and a force in world affairs. The late 1990s witnessed the extraordinary rise of Vice-President Hu Jintao from obscurity to pre-eminence as one of China’s most powerful politicians and President Jiang Zemin’s heir apparent. If Hu succeeds Jiang, he will lead China’s 1.3 billion people into a new era. Over the next decade, he would manage China’s emergence as a global power – a leading country with one of the world’s largest economies, nuclear weapons and a seat on the United Nations Security Council.
