在喜马拉雅地区，一个积极的民主故事将在一个意想不到的地方被发现：在一个流亡的难民人口中，一个不被承认的政府，对领土没有管辖权。西藏流亡政府（TGiE）位于印度喜马拉雅山的山脚下，是一个功能齐全的代议制民主政体，三大洲的选民有权选举43名西藏议员。本文探讨了西藏流亡民主的独特演变和背后的基本原理，流亡运作所面临的局限性，以及这个案例如何为关于民主的发展和性质以及民主程序在无领土政体中的运作的更广泛的辩论提供信息。
A positive story of democracy in the Himalayan region is to be found in an unexpected place: in an exiled refugee population with an unrecognised government and no jurisdiction over territory. Based in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas, the Tibetan Government-in-Exile (TGiE) is a fully functioning representative democracy with voters in three continents franchised to elect forty-three Tibetan Members of Parliament. This paper examines the unique evolution of and rationale behind Tibetan democracy-in-exile, the limitations faced by operating in exile, and how this case can inform broader debates regarding the development and nature of democracy, and the functioning of democratic procedures in a territory-less polity.
