- Summary:
- This book explores the synergy between development and conflict in the Tibetan areas of Western China from the mid-1990s onward, when rapid economic growth occurred alongside a particularly assimilationist policy approach: Based on-accessible economic analysis and extensive interdisciplinary, fieldwork, it represents one of the only macro-level and systemic analyses of its kind in the scholarship on Tibet and also holds much interest for those interested in China and in development and conflict more generally.
