爭議
戈爾茨坦是一位頂尖的西方藏語學家和西藏政治史學者,一直相當富有成果。他的作品中的很多內容具有爭議,藏人中的民族主義者經常質疑他的意圖[2],並認為戈爾茨坦的立場親中,指控其研究經常得到中國政府的協助,能夠從中國政府方面拿到其它西方學者得不到的材料。支持西藏獨立的西藏流亡作家嘉央諾布指其著作抹黑西藏歷史,並引用諾貝爾經濟學獎得主阿馬蒂亞·森的話:「可疑的歷史無法為可疑的政治辯護」。[3][4]然而,戈爾茨坦其實是以中立的觀點來描述西藏,[5]其《西藏現代史》系列被歷史學家本諾·韋納描述為「數十年來對中部西藏社會和歷史的開創性學術成果」,[6]學者傑弗里·霍普金斯亦表示「這本書值得高度讚揚,因為它首次嘗試對1913年至1951年的西藏政治進行中立而全面的描述」,[7]而美國歷史學家莫里斯·羅薩比也對其作品有類似評價。[8]站在第三方角度,戈爾茨坦對於西藏歷史的觀點無論與西藏流亡人士還是中國政府的觀點相比均有明顯的區別。以後者為例,中華人民共和國政府聲稱西藏是明朝的一部分、明朝繼承了元朝對西藏的主權,但戈爾茨坦則持完全不同觀點,認為「明朝皇帝對該地區沒有行使任何行政權力。明朝皇帝授予藏族領導人許多頭銜,但不像蒙古人那樣授予權威。明朝皇帝授予已經掌權的藏人爵位,只不過承認了政治現實」。[9]但不管怎樣,戈爾茨坦是一位資料工作做得比較好的學者,即使不同意他的觀點的人,也很重視他所收集的文獻和實地調查資料。
