Frakes reveals the connection between US national security strategy at the end of the Cold War and the beginning of the War on Terror. \u003c\/b\u003eThroughout a series of crises from 1981 to 1991, the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush recognized that emerging threats to global security--terrorism, regional aggression, weapons of mass destruction, and narcotics trafficking--converged into a single growing phenomenon that they eventually called \"rogue states.\" In confronting Libya, Panama, and Iraq, Reagan and Bush created the strategies that drove US national security after 9\/11. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrakes argues that Reagan and Bush's improvised responses to crises of terrorism, aggression, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction--culminating in the Gulf War of 1991--established a lasting enforcement role for the United States against rogue states in the post-Cold War world. The effort to redefine US national security around this threat created a new framework to guide the country's approach to global security after the Cold War--one that ensured after 9\/11 that the War on Terror became a war on rogue states.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50692594172097,"sku":"9781501785719","price":174.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/5512\/0833\/files\/9781501785719.jpg?v=1791226063","url":"https:\/\/www.porchlightbooks.com\/products\/rogue-states-the-making-of-americas-global-war-on-terror","provider":"Porchlight Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
