Description: Now that the Cold War has ended, a threat that matches the scope of the USSR is no longer believed to exist, but smaller countries continue to torment U.S. leaders. The governments of these countries are considered the outlaws of the international system, whether due to their support of terrorism or their interest in nuclear weapons. In Rogue Regimes, Raymond Tanter explores U.S. foreign policy with regard to nations such as Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Libya, uncovering the reasons why these countries are so menacing to the U.S. In addition, Tanter examines U.S. policy toward governments in Cuba and North Korea, which continue to promote their own forms of communism. An informative analysis certain to provoke a wide range of reactions, this book is perfect for any reader with an interest in world politics.
