“Gerard Toal is one of the smartest and most interesting thinkers working today on post-Soviet politics (Henry Hale, professor of political science and international relations at George Washington University; author of Patronal Politics). Examining the conflicts in Georgia and Ukraine, Toal convincingly shows that geopolitical practice is neither inherently rational nor driven by objective external pressures, but rather imbued with deep normative assumptions about the legitimate boundaries of political spaces, shared discourses, and flows between transnational political communities. and highly stylized emotional appeals.”
– Oleksandr Cooley, director of the Harriman Institute at Columbia University; author of the books “Logic of Hierarchy and Big Games”, “Local Rules”
