Deviance in International Relations 'Rogue States' and International Security

"The notion of 'rogue' states is vague, common and important in both discourse and policy. This fine collection of essays subjects it to careful scrutiny from a range of disciplines and perspectives, including looking at topics usually ignored like the agency of the 'rogues' themselves and how states can be 'de-rogued.' Careful and thought-provoking, this volume is of great value to IR scholars." - Robert Jervis, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of International Politics, Columbia University, New York

"By focusing on the labeling and disciplining of 'rogue states' by international society, and by building on the insights of social constructivism and critical theory, this volume sheds new and valuable light on the meaning of deviance in global politics. It presents a valuable contribution to international relations scholarship."
