'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 'The text is essential reading for any student of (South) African foreign policy, those comparing the multilateralism in the foreign policies of emerging middle powers or interested in the recent workings, deliberations and policies of multilateral fora such as the NAM and NPT in particular.' - Paul-Henri Bischoff, International Affairs "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 '...this is an important contribution to the contemporary debates and discussion concerning South Africa's post-apartheid foreign policy.' - David P. Thomas, Journal of Modern African Studies
