This contribution centres around a conversation with Gerard Toal (Gearóid Ó Tuathail), held at Goethe-University Frankfurt on 25 October 2018 in the context of the closing events of the project AFRASO (Africa’s Asian Options) – a large interdisciplinary project, funded by the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) between 2013 and 2019. The project investigated the heterogeneous spaces of interaction between Africa and Asia and closed with a lecture series, entitled Afrasian Futures, to which Gerard Toal delivered the first lecture in October 2018. In this contribution, we address the role and evolution of critical geopolitical scholarship, focussing in particular on Toal’s latest book, Near Abroad, as well as on wider debates on (trans)regional studies and shifting geopolitical orderings, such as the ones explored as part of the AFRASO project. It starts with an introductory part in form of a brief reflection on the problematic history of and the ongoing unease with geopolitical scholarship in Germany. It then proceeds with sketching out the basic tenets and the evolution of critical geopolitics, whereby it highlights the decisive influence of Gerard Toal’s work. In the following, the three conceptual foundations of geopolitical field, culture and condition are briefly introduced, as laid out in Toal’s book Near Abroad and in the context of his call for thick analysis of geopolitical complexities. After this introductory part, the remainder of this contribution consists of a conversation with Gerard Toal.

地缘政治——厚重而复杂。与杰拉德·托尔的对话

例如作为 AFRASO 项目的一部分探索的那些。它以介绍性部分的形式开始,以简要反思德国地缘政治学术的问题历史和持续不安的形式。然后继续勾勒出批判地缘政治的基本原则和演变,从而突出了 Gerard Toal 工作的决定性影响。在下文中,将简要介绍地缘政治领域、文化和条件的三个概念基础,正如 Toal 的著作《近在国外》以及他呼吁对地缘政治复杂性进行深入分析的背景下所阐述的那样。在介绍部分之后,本贡献的其余部分包括与 Gerard Toal 的对话。它以介绍性部分的形式开始,以简要反思德国地缘政治学术的问题历史和持续不安的形式。然后继续勾勒出批判地缘政治的基本原则和演变,从而突出了 Gerard Toal 工作的决定性影响。在下文中,将简要介绍地缘政治领域、文化和条件的三个概念基础,正如 Toal 的著作《近在国外》以及他呼吁对地缘政治复杂性进行深入分析的背景下所阐述的那样。在介绍部分之后,本贡献的其余部分包括与 Gerard Toal 的对话。它以介绍性部分的形式开始,以简要反思德国地缘政治学术的问题历史和持续不安的形式。然后继续勾勒出批判地缘政治的基本原则和演变,从而突出了 Gerard Toal 工作的决定性影响。在下文中,将简要介绍地缘政治领域、文化和条件的三个概念基础,正如 Toal 的著作《近在国外》以及他呼吁对地缘政治复杂性进行深入分析的背景下所阐述的那样。在介绍部分之后,本贡献的其余部分包括与 Gerard Toal 的对话。它突出了 Gerard Toal 工作的决定性影响。在下文中,将简要介绍地缘政治领域、文化和条件的三个概念基础,正如 Toal 的著作《近在国外》以及他呼吁对地缘政治复杂性进行深入分析的背景下所阐述的那样。在介绍部分之后,本贡献的其余部分包括与 Gerard Toal 的对话。它突出了 Gerard Toal 工作的决定性影响。在下文中,将简要介绍地缘政治领域、文化和条件的三个概念基础,正如 Toal 的著作《近在国外》以及他呼吁对地缘政治复杂性进行深入分析的背景下所阐述的那样。在介绍部分之后,本贡献的其余部分包括与 Gerard Toal 的对话。
