Beskrivning

Rehearsing the State presents a comprehensive investigation of the institutions, performances, and actors through which the Tibetan Government-in-Exile is rehearsing statecraft. McConnell offers new insights into how communities officially excluded from formal state politics enact hoped-for futures and seek legitimacy in the present. Offers timely and original insights into exile Tibetan politics based on detailed qualitative research in Tibetan communities in IndiaAdvances existing debates in political geography by bringing ideas of stateness and statecraft into dialogue with geographies of temporalityExplores the provisional and pedagogical dimensions of state practices, adding weight to assertions that states are in a continual situation of emergenceMakes a significant contribution to critical state theory
