O Dalai Lama : uma trajetória política da colaboração ao rompimento com a República Popular da China e a projeção internacional

Abstract

This research falls within the field of Political History and its objective is to retrace the “political journey” of the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso (1938-) through the analysis of his autobiography originally published in 1990, directly in English, where the spiritual leader portrays his childhood from birth, his rise and fall from power in the Tibetan State and his subsequent life, working with the Tibetan government in exile, going until the end of the 1980s. Through this autobiography, this monograph involves the historical, social context and political life of Tibet during the years reported by the Dalai Lama, in addition to his political motivations, the geopolitical framework in which he finds himself and his relationships with different actors on the global stage, from a critical perspective.
