Claude Arpi

Claude Arpi is a prominent French historian and specialist in Tibetan studies, known for his extensive research and writings on the history, politics, and culture of Tibet. He has been an outspoken advocate for Tibetan autonomy and has explored the geopolitical implications of Tibetan issues, particularly in relation to China's policies in the region. His expertise has made him a sought-after commentator on Tibetan affairs, especially regarding the succession of the Dalai Lama, which he argues is not only a spiritual matter but also a significant geopolitical lever.
