Rehearsing the State presents a comprehensive investigation of the institutions, performances, and actors through which the Tibetan Government-in-Exile is rehearsing statecraft. McConnell offers new insights into how communities officially excluded from formal state politics enact hoped-for futures and seek legitimacy in the present.

Offers timely and original insights into exile Tibetan politics based on detailed qualitative research in Tibetan communities in India
Advances existing debates in political geography by bringing ideas of stateness and statecraft into dialogue with geographies of temporality
Explores the provisional and pedagogical dimensions of state practices, adding weight to assertions that states are in a continual situation of emergence
Makes a significant contribution to critical state theory

Fiona McConnell is Associate Professor in Human Geography at the University of Oxford. She is co-editor of Geographies of Peace (2014) and Diplomatic Cultures and International Politics forthcoming), and sits on the Board of Directors of the Tibet Justice Centre.
