Tibet and the problem of radical reductionism

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
The article takes issue with a mode of argumentation advanced by a number of left-learning, radical scholars, about the causes of the Tibetan unrest in China in spring 2008. According to this stance, the Tibetan protests are the result of external manipulation by neoconservative, reactionary forces, ranging from the CIA to the Dalai Lama. A radical stance on Western imperialism and capitalism should reject such reductionism.
