Zimbabwe and Its Political Landscape

Zimbabwe is a state that has undergone significant ruptures in its domestic and international politics in recent years.

Exploring Citizens' Perspectives

This book explores how Zimbabwean citizens have, under difficult circumstances, reconstructed ideas of their state by imagining the wider world. Unlike other work on international relations, which tends to focus on the state level, this book is based on the accounts of ordinary people.

Research Methodology

Drawing on interviews with more than two hundred Zimbabweans, collected over three years, Gallagher explores how citizens draw on emotional responses to the international to find and construct different ''others''.

Broader Significance

While this unique and compelling read will appeal to those researching Zimbabwe, Gallagher's wider conclusions will interest those studying and advancing the broader theoretical debates of international relations.
