Grove's analysis is persuasive, and the book successfully makes crucial points for policy-makers and scholars alike … This is a refreshing intervention in light of how growing uncertainty in international relations seems to have triggered a counter-intuitive nostalgia for overly simplistic theories.

“Grove contends that we need a new framework to study and understand foreign policymaking by leaders in the Global South and illustrates this argument with rich empirical evidence from Uganda, Kenya, Qatar, and Turkey. This book will be useful to political scientists, Global South specialists, international development scholars, and practitioners - and is particularly useful for anyone interested in foreign policy analysis regardless of domain.”

“A topical and innovative study which highlights how comparative insights from the Global South, and the role of transnational interests and identities in foreign policy decision-making in particular, can advance theorizing in Foreign Policy Analysis.”
