Renegade Regimes and Foreign Policy Crises

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the puzzling behavior of leaders like Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein during crises with the US, questioning why they sometimes escalate tensions to war despite unfavorable odds. It examines the dynamics of foreign policy among rogue states, using case studies from Iraq, Serbia, and North Korea. A theoretical framework combining psychological theories and rational choice models is developed to analyze these behaviors, making it a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and those interested in international security and emerging threats.
