About

Anshuman Ankit is a Ph.D. Research Scholar and UGC-Senior Research Fellow (SRF) in the Department of Public Administration, Magadh University, Bodh Gaya, Bihar, India.

His doctoral research examines the historical and institutional evolution of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) as an administration-in-exile; its administrative culture, values, norms and institutional practices; the transition of the Tibetan polity towards democratic institutionalisation; the role of leadership and institutional transformation; and the influence of the Indian host-state environment on the evolution and functioning of the CTA. His work seeks to contribute to Comparative Public Administration by examining governance, administrative culture and institutional resilience beyond conventional state-centric frameworks.
