Mapping Amdo:
Dynamics of Power

2nd vol­ume (2019)

The sec­ond vol­ume of the Map­ping Amdo Series con­tin­ues to aim to chan­nel the research on the mul­ti­eth­nic and mul­ti­cul­tur­al region of Amdo, which, posi­tioned at the cross­roads of the Tibetan, Mon­gol, and Chi­nese cul­tur­al and polic­i­tal spheres of influ­ence, has been, and still is, of major strate­gic impor­tance. Through­out the his­to­ry of Amdo rep­re­sen­ta­tives of both the sec­u­lar and the reli­gious com­mu­ni­ties have engaged in pow­er strug­gles with­in their own com­mu­ni­ties as well as in con­fronta­tion with each oth­er. Apart from mil­i­tary or spir­i­tu­al pow­er, this vol­ume also dis­cuss­es eco­nom­ic, cul­tur­al, and sociopo­lit­i­cal aspects of pow­er as exe­cut­ed by var­i­ous play­ers through­out Amdo history.
