History/Government/Politics

The Amnye Machen Institute (AMI) Tibetan Center for Advanced Studies "The Institute is undertaking systematic and scientific studies into Tibetan history, culture, society and politics. AMI is also initiating studies into the external cultures, ideologies and nations that have influenced the course of Tibetan history; but which have been insufficiently examined till now. These efforts are directed towards opening up and exploring new horizons in Tibetan studies and focused on important subjects such as contemporary Tibetan art, literature and women's studies that have hitherto received scant attention."
