Opis

Breathing fresh air into debates surrounding foreign policy and interstate relations, Bianca Naude presents a holistic theory of states as collectives of people that cannot be reduced to their individual constituents.

Recenzje

'For those who think that state personhood is not only useful but also a real social feature of global politics, Naude’s book is an achievement on a number of fronts.  It is a splendid blend of careful analysis combined with creativity and innovation, and thus worthy of scholarly attention now and in the years to come.’

Brent Steele, Perspectives on Politics

"This is a well-written and accessible book that makes a strong case for complicating our understanding of the link between identity and state behaviour.　 … [The] book will be valuable for scholars interested in foreign policy, as well as in states’ emotions and states’ psychological functioning more generally."

Nina C. Krickel-Choi, International Affairs
