Monastic Politics and the Local State in China: Authority and Autonomy in an Ethnically Tibetan Prefecture
2005
Overview
In asking how Tibetan monks can beat up a group of Chinese Communist Party officials and get away with it, this case study has addresses a number of issues regarding political change in contemporary China. Here, Hillman investigates the origins of the conflict and the changing nature of relations between the monastery and the local government since the revival of religious institutions in the 1980s. The analysis touches upon a number of themes in contemporary Chinese politics and society, including the state's relations with non-state institutions and the increasing significance of religion and ethnic identities in local society, in an effort to illuminate the complexity of forces driving political change in China today.
