近代西藏商品贸易与市场网络述论

Commodity Trade and Market Network in Modern Tibet

近代西藏地区内商品贸易趋向活跃,演绎着自然经济占主导地位下商品经济的缓慢发展。近代西藏地区与祖国内地、英属印度之间的商品贸易发生了较大的变化。内地与西藏的传统商品贸易优势地位,在近代后期被英属印度所取代。近代意义上的西藏市场网络已经形成,其运行效率低下,且最终受外商控制。

Natural economy in modern Tibet was dominant, whereas commodity economy achieved growth of certain extent. Volume of trade between Tibet and British India in modern time increased rapidly, but business between Tibet and the mainland provinces fell off. British India controlled Tibetan economy in late modern times. Although market network in modern Tibet has formed, it was dominated by foreign dealer and efficiency of the market network was low.
