Biography :
Gerard Toal (Gearóid Ó Tuathail) has been a founding figure in establishing Critical Geopolitics as a domain of research within Political Geography, and features in the book Key Thinkers on Space and Place (Sage, second edition 2010). His latest book is Bosnia Remade: Ethnic Cleansing and Its Reversal (Oxford, 2011) which he co-authored with Dr Carl Dahlman. The work provides a in-depth analysis of the localized geopolitics of displacement and returns in three Bosnian communities from 1992 to today. He has also conducted comparative work on Bosnia and the Caucasus with Dr John O'Loughlin (also funded, like the Bosnian study, by the National Science Foundation). His current NSF grant is on the impact of Kosovo's independence on the operation of four Eurasian De Facto States (Transnistria, South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Nagorny Karabakh).
