Abstract
The Tibet crisis tainted the success of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The handling of the crisis showed the CCP’s rigid denial of genuine dialogue and compromise and adherence to a formula of repression and economic growth. Current leaders are enmeshed in this policy, but a new generation might well seek out policies more in tune with the quest for ”harmony” at home and ”peaceful rise” on the world scene.

Notes
I am grateful to Françoise Robin for comments on the article’s first version. Its title in the original French, “Au loin l’harmonie: la gestion de la crise tibétaine de 2008 par les autorités chinoises,” was inspired by that of the Dalai Lama’s memoirs in French, Au loin la liberté, Fayard, 1990.
