The Dalai Lama and the Emperor of China: A Political History of the Tibetan Institution of Reincarnation, Peter Schwieger's 2015 study from Columbia University Press, is a scholarly political history of the Tibetan institution of reincarnation and its relation to the Chinese imperial court. Its strength is that it is a peer vetted academic press monograph tracing the institution's political dimension across centuries. Its limit is that its subject is the institution's political history specifically, not a theological account of reincarnation doctrine itself, which should be sought in dedicated Buddhist studies scholarship.
