William Monroe Coleman.- Writing Tibetan History: The Discourses of Feudalism and Serfdom in Chinese and Western Historiography.

Research which does exist either focuses on the philosophical and religious traditions of Tibet, and is therefore not very useful for understanding socioeconomic relations in Tibet, or is saturated with overt political motivations and rhetoric, and thereby calls into question its credibility.

Melvyn C. Goldstein.- Tibet, China and the United States: Reflections on the Tibet Question. (1995)

Tibet's political subordination to China, therefore, was repeatedly validated by the West throughout the first half of the 20th century, and particularly in the critical years during and immediately following World War II.

Tsering Shakya.- Introduction: The Development of Modern Tibetan Studies

The field of Tibetan studies had not previously dealt with Tibet as an evolving and contemporary
society. Although there had been great interest in Tibet in the West since at least the early nineteenth century, academic studies of Tibetan in Western universities began in earnest only in 1959.
