Conflict in Divided Societies: Northern Ireland and Peacemaking

Shaul Cohen's work in political and cultural geography focuses on the interface between power and the environment and on questions of ethnicity and territory. Theoretical foci in his work are Gramscian hegemony and discourses of nature, and these research streams are largely pursued in relation to tree planting and forest issues. His work on ethnicity and territory concentrates on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
