{"product_id":"9783836436984","title":"Renegade Regimes And Foreign Policy Crises","description":"The main puzzle that leads me to conceive this project is the seemingly irrational behavior of certain leaders like Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam\u003cbr\u003eHussein during crises with the US. Why did they risk war with the United\u003cbr\u003eStates, while the odds are clearly against them? Why do they sometimes escalate the crisis to the point of war and sometimes seek conciliation and settlement?\u003cbr\u003eThefore the central question of this study is: what are the dynamics behind the foreign policy behavior of renegade regimes\/rogue states during crises? The cases include crises with Iraq (1991), Serbia (1999), and North\u003cbr\u003eKorea (1994). I created a theoretical framework that brings together psychological theories of foreign policy analysis and rational choice models, and incorporates systemic and domestic constraints that leaders face to analyze their foreign policy behavior. This book is primarily directed towards researchers interested in foreign policy, international security, and rogue states.\u003cbr\u003ePolicymakers in the foreign policy community, journalists, and people who are interested in how can we deal with emerging threats to peace and security hopefully would find this book helpful and informative.","brand":"VDM AG Co. \u0026 KG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037910909168,"sku":"9783836436984","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783836436984_p0.jpg?v=1763688303","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783836436984","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
