<p>“This volume will be useful to scholars by drawing upon a wide range and deep history of concepts to explain the emergence of selected states and societies in the Global South to greater voice and consequence in regional and world political economy and discourse. It will be useful to practitioners of public, business and non- governmental diplomacy because it addresses and samples issues in the changing world dynamics and in their domestic institutional and regional strategic settings. Most of all, the volume will be useful to students at all levels in all regions, because it offers grounded coverage of experiences from their home regions while integrating these with parallel ones worldwide. This masterful collection blends coverage of worldwide particulars with pulsing global and regional dynamics of action and counter-action. It is a call to move beyond regional insularities of scholarship.” (Michael H. Allen, Harvey Wexler Chair in Political Science, Bryn Mawr College, USA)</p><p>“Jacqueline Braveboy-Wagner and contributors methodically compose a volume, containing fifteen chapters on various aspects of global south foreign policies and domestic influences, all of which contribute to deepening our understanding of the Rising Global South and its impact on changing world politics. Genuinely international in authorship, stimulating and sometimes provocative in presentation, the book is superbly informative and rewarding. It should be read by all who are interested in foreign policy analysis, in general, and the Global South, in particular.” (Aigul Kulnazarova, Professor of International Relations and International Law, Tama University, Japan)</p>
<p>“This fantastic collection is unique in illustrating the depth of distinctive, clever and incisive diplomatic strategies practised by a range of states, both large and small, across the full breadth of the Global South. By shining a light on the activities of myriad developing countries at the global, regional andsub-regional levels, it offers a convincing corrective to prevailing accounts that privilege the concerns of Western powers and scholarship, and which tend to focus on the most conventionally powerful. It is consequently a crucial addition to the literature on diplomacy, and deserves to be widely read, both in—and also well beyond—the South.” (Matthew Bishop, Senior Lecturer, University of the West Indies, Trinidad and Tobago)</p>
