This addition to the popular Opposing Viewpoints series discusses the current issues surrounding the country of Tibet. Through the use of carefully selected articles, this text explores how Tibet should be governed, the impact of Chinese rule in Tibet, if and/or how the United States should engage Tibet, and what is the best way to encourage political change. These issues can only be addressed after thoughtful examination. The viewpoints are selected from a wide range of highly respected and often hard-to-find sources and publications. By choosing from such diverse sources and including both popular and unpopular views, the Opposing Viewpoints editorial team has adhered to its commitment to editorial objectivity. Readers are exposed to many sides of a debate, which promotes issue awareness as well as critical thinking.
