Bianca Naude is Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at the University of the Free State, South Africa. Her research is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing on her training in anthropology, sociology, political science and theory of literature. She has contributed scholarly articles and book chapters on ontological security theory as a novel approach to terrorism studies, foreign policy and regionalization as tools of resistance against Western hegemony, South Africa’s search for ontological security in its foreign relations, and the role of emotions in South African foreign policy.
"'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"
