'Fascinating ... A valuable, well-written and thought-provoking addition to the study of international relations, foreign policy, diplomacy, political psychology and US-Iranian relations. Its critical and balanced approach reinforces discussions on the power of emotions, stories and identities in shaping relations between states and societies.'
International Affairs

'Constance Duncombe shows convincingly, and with theoretical sophistication, how emotion interferes with exchanges between governments that are usually presented as rational international dialogue. This is a timely and important book on the way in which the politics of respect and disrespect impact on governments' representations and recognition of hostile states, and the policies crafted to deal with their elites.'
Jan Melissen, Editor-in-Chief of The Hague Journal of Diplomacy, Professor of Diplomacy at the University of Antwerp, and Senior Fellow at Leiden University and the Clingendael Institute in The Hague

'A timely reminder of identity's key importance to foreign policymaking, and a convincing reading of how past injuries muddy present concerns.'
Iver B. Neumann, author of Diplomatic Tenses
