Reviews

“Strategic narratives, ontological security and global policy, Thomas Colley and Carolijn van Noort make an exciting contribution to this field. … This is a fascinating contribution that speaks to several different theoretical literatures in IR and knits them closer together. The empirical puzzle of uneven commitment to the BRI is tackled well throughout the book. It is remarkably forward-looking and opens many doors for further research on ontological security, strategic narratives and foreign policy change.” (Lauren Rogers, International Affairs, Vol. 98 (6), 2022)
