Robert Niebuhr earned his PhD in History from Boston College where his graduate work focused on politics in former Yugoslavia during the Cold War. Niebuhr originally worked on topics in modern German history as an undergraduate and has since nurtured a wide-array of academic interests including global studies, travel history, languages, military studies, and diplomacy of the modern era. He has spent several years living and studying abroad, beginning with a year in Croatia as a Fulbrighter and most recently for the past two years in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. In Croatia, Niebuhr did archival research for his MA thesis and attended courses at the University of Zagreb. Later, he spent considerable time in former Yugoslavia doing research and working in Bosnia-Hercegovina (Mostar and Sarajevo), Kosovo (Prishtina), and in Serbia (Novi Sad and Belgrade). In Bolivia Niebuhr taught at Universidad Nur and Universidad Católica Boliviana “San Pablo” and is currently finalizing a paper that stems from original research on political change in Bolivia following the Chaco War (1930s). In addition to his research on the Chaco War, Niebuhr is finishing another book project on the origins of the Cold War, with an emphasis on the early diplomacy emanating from Belgrade.

With the final revolution of 1952, politics in Bolivia became more modern than they had been in the period of the Chaco War or during the populist leanings of all post-1899 governments. Niebuhr offers a fresh contribution, showing the importance of the turbulent populist politics of the period after 1899 and the significance of the Chaco War as the most influential revolutionary event in modern Bolivian history.
