TYBET - MIĘDZY MITAMI A GEOPOLITYKĄ
TIBET – BETWEEN MYTHS AND GEOPOLITICS

Summary/Abstract: The author focused on main problems of the political situation of contemporary Tibet, presented in popular books, mainly in journalistic, travel and historic publications as well as in the books on Tibetan culture. This image is significantly different than the image of Tibet presented by Polish media, which is frequently very simplified and deformed. The mass media almost entirely ignore the crucial political factors and geopolitical background of the Tibetan region. That leads to the conclusion that the media news and relations, along with popular knowledge assets in the society are not only unsupported by expert analysis and academic sources (what would be difficult to attain) but even discard the basic facts that can be found in the popular and popular science literature.
