In Rogue States, Matthew A. Frakes reveals the connection between US national security strategy at the end of the Cold War and the beginning of the War on Terror. Throughout a series of crises from 1981 to 1991, the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush recognized that emerging threats to global securityâ"terrorism, regional aggression, weapons of mass destruction, and narcotics traffickingâ"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. Frakes argues that Reagan and Bush's improvised responses to crises of terrorism, aggression, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destructionâ"culminating in the Gulf War of 1991â"established a lasting enforcement role for the United States against rogue states in the postâ"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 Warâ"one that ensured after 9/11 that the War on Terror became a war on rogue states.
