Mehr zum Buch

The investigation into rogue states challenges the perception of them solely as antagonists to the Western-liberal order, suggesting they may also serve as norm entrepreneurs. Through an analysis of Iran's arms control policies, the author compares its actions with those of Sweden and North Korea, revealing varying degrees of norm advocacy. The findings highlight the complexities of norm entrepreneurship and provide insights into the factors influencing its success or failure. This work offers a fresh perspective on rogue states as active participants in shaping global norms, appealing to scholars in international relations.
