The foreign policy beliefs of South Africans: A first cutFootnote¹

I wish to express my gratitude to Garth le Pere and Anthoni van Nieuwkerk of the Foundation for Global Dialogue for helping to conceptualize this survey and to secure funding for it. Anthony Leysens and Lloyd Hill of the University of Stellenbosch helped to refine the questions, and provided helpful comments on an earlier draft of this paper. I am also grateful to Willie Breytenbach, Maxi Schoeman, Ian Taylor and Janis van der Westhuizen for the helpful suggestions they made.
