In Critical Readings on the History of Tibetan Foreign Relations Saul Mullard has presented some of the world's leading academic contributions to the history of Tibetan contacts with other nations and states. This selection of key texts manages to chart the historical development of Tibet and her position in the politics and history of Central, South and East Asia. Beginning with the Tibetan Empire period, this work explores the important linguistic, diplomatic, cultural and religious connections that shaped the history and culture of, not only Tibet, but also that of Central Asia, Mongolia, China and India. This work also explores Tibet's contemporary position in international relations, particularly with regards to India, China and the West. This major work provides both established and new scholars a unique and valuable reference work on Tibet's longstanding cultural, religious and linguistic relationships and connections with her neighbours.

Contributors include: Christopher Beckwith, Tsughito Takeuchi, Elliot Sperling, Karl-Heinz Everding, Roberto Vitali, Luciano Petech, Leonard van der Kuijp, Peter Sschweiger, Tsering Shakya, Melvyn Goldstein, Dawa Norbu, Alex McKay, Hsiao-Ting Lin amongst others.
