A recent National Security Strategy report singles out nuclear
proliferation as one of the gravest threats to the United States.
Much of this fear is focused on North Korea and Iran, two "rogue
states" that have violated nonproliferation rules and engaged in
provocative actions, including nuclear and ballistic missile tests.
Conventional wisdom dictates that the regimes in these countries
have a uniquely defiant and dangerous nature, and that coercive
measures such as sanctions and preemptive strikes are the most
effective way to deal with them. But how do the neighbors of these
two states view them, and how does this perception map onto the
regional landscape in East Asia and the Middle East? Global Rogues
and Regional Orders offers a systematic analysis of the
intersection of nuclear proliferation and regional order in East
Asia and the Middle East. It does so by exploring the causes and
consequences of the regional perceptions and policies with regard
to the North Korean and Iranian challenges. The U.S. depiction of
North Korea and Iran as archetypical global rogues is fundamentally
at odds with the regional debate, which centers on multiple
understandings of what these nations respectively mean for the
regional order. While some regional actors, such as Israel, Saudi
Arabia, and Japan, side with the United States, others seek to
challenge, or dissociate from, the U.S. position as a means to
enhance their countries' regional role and foreign policy autonomy.
By turning the analytical focus onto regional actors and the
regional dimension of nuclear proliferation, this book offers a
novel way to analyze global proliferation challenges and provides
new insights into the making of regional orders in East Asia and
the Middle East.
