The interactions between popular culture and public policy in
general, and foreign policy in particular, have always been an
important area of scholarly enquiry and popular interest. However
with the end of the bipolar world system and the emergence of a
single world superpower in the form of the United States of
America, which is waging a War Against Terror, this nexus has
become critical. This is especially true because of the almost
Manichean tendency of the United States to see other countries in
terms of "good" or "evil." Indeed President Bush himself has coined
the term "The Axis of Evil" for states, which in a kinder age were
simply referred to by his predecessors as being "Rogue States."
This book draws together elements from several academic
disciplines - politics, international relations, psychology, film
and cultural studies and examines US foreign policy toward the
so-called "rogue states" and the products of the Hollywood film
industry in relation to these states, which promises to make a
significant contribution to our understanding of the 'soft power'
that is popular culture.
