It seeks to document less-known armed conflicts and shed light on other better-known events through new sources, depicting how battles were then fought; it also analyses the role of wars, be they won or lost, as generating change on four levels: in the development of the Tibetan military institutions themselves; in the development of the Tibetan government; in the links between army and society; in international politics.Chair: Alice Travers; Discussant: Tashi Tsering Josayma8:30 Ryosuke Kobayashi, Alice Travers - Panel Introduction8:40 Federica Venturi - The Fifth Dalai Lama and the Conflict with Bhutan in 16689:05 Yuri Komatsubara - Tibetan Policies during the First Sino-Gurkha War (1788-1789)9:30 Dai Yingcong - The Gurkha Wars and the Shift of the Qing Tibetan Policy during the Qianlong-JiaqingTransition, 1780-18209:55 Jeannine Bischoff - Rewarding a Paid Sword - A 1904 Letter of Honour by the bka’ shag for Soldiers Who Fought the British Invaders10:20 Coffee breakChair: Ryosuke Kobayashi; Discussant: Tashi Tsering Josayma10:50 Federica Venturi - Presentation of the TibArmy project: A Timeline of Wars during the Ganden Phodrang Period11:00 Ryosuke Kobayashi - The Ganden Phodrang Army and the Sino-Tibetan Border Conflict in 191811:25 Alice Travers - Borders’ Defence at Wartime: the Role of Local Militia (yul dmag) and Border Guards (sa srung) in the Early 20th Century11:50 Alex Raymond - The Battle of Chamdo (October 1950)12:15 Discussion12:40 Lunch--Around 60 people came to the TibArmy panel on 10 July 2019:Ryosuke Kobayashi, Kyushu University, Japan &#38; Alice Travers, CNRS, CRCAO, FranceFederica Venturi, CNRS, CRCAO, FranceRyosuke Kobayashi, Kyushu University, JapanYuri Komatsubara, Meiji University, JapanDuring the panelYingcong Dai, William Paterson University, USA Alice Travers, CNRS, CRCAODuring the panel
