'This collection of papers - the product of a new generation of scholars analyzing South Africa's foreign policy - is genuinely innovative and cogently argued. The authors all display critical acumen and a willingness to challenge more orthodox interpretations. The text will be invaluable for teaching purposes as well as stimulating argument and further research.' - Jack Spence, Professor at the Department of War Studies, Kings College, UK

"This book of essays deals admirably with South Africa's diplomatic performance since properly democratic government took over in 1994." - Derek Ingram, The Round Table
