Regime change : U.S. strategy through the prism of 9/11 / Robert S. Litwak. - xvi, 406 pages ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The "imperial republic," rogue states, and international order -- Dilemmas of force after 9/11 -- Strategies for a change of regime- or for change within a regime? -- Iraq: from containment to regime change -- Libya: rejoining the "family of nations"? -- Iran: revolutionary state or ordinary country? -- North Korea: proliferation in a failed state -- Non-state threats: the "nexus" of proliferation and terrorism -- Epilogue: Regime change redux.
The 9/11 terrorist attacks starkly recast the U.S. debate on "rogue states." In this new era of vulnerability, should the United States counter the dangers of weapons proliferation and state-sponsored terrorism by toppling regimes or by promoting change in the threatening behavior of their leaders? Regime Change examines the contrasting precedents set with Iraq and Libya and provides incisive analysis of the pressing crises with North Korea and Iran. A successor to the author's influential Rogue States and U.S. Foreign Policy (2000), this compelling book clarifies and critiques the terms in which today's vital foreign policy and security debate is being conducted.
