With much of the world’s attention focused on global flashpoints, Tibet’s uncertain future is often sidelined in geopolitical conversations. Yet the Tibetan plateau holds major implications for the region’s balance of power, climate security, and human rights around the world.
What is the geopolitical significance of Tibet in the 21st century? How could Tibet’s environmental future affect millions of lives across Asia? And what does Tibet’s political future mean for religious freedom and international law around the world?
To answer these questions, the United States Studies Centre hosted a discussion with Tibet Policy Institute Senior Research Fellow
Dr Tenzin Desal, UTS Associate Professor in China Studies
Dr Feng Chongyi and La Trobe Asia Director
Dr Ruth Gamble, in conversation with United States Studies Centre CEO
Dr Michael Green.
