Frakes reveals the connection between US national security strategy at the end of the Cold War and the beginning of the War on Terror. \u003c\/b\u003eThroughout a series of crises from 1981 to 1991, the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush recognized that emerging threats to global security – terrorism, regional aggression, weapons of mass destruction, and narcotics trafficking – converged into a single growing phenomenon that they eventually called \"rogue states.\" In confronting Libya, Panama, and Iraq, Reagan and Bush created the strategies that drove US national security after 9\/11. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrakes argues that Reagan and Bush's improvised responses to crises of terrorism, aggression, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction – culminating in the Gulf War of 1991 – established a lasting enforcement role for the United States against rogue states in the post–Cold War world. The effort to redefine US national security around this threat created a new framework to guide the country's approach to global security after the Cold War – one that ensured after 9\/11 that the War on Terror became a war on rogue states.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397989515500,"sku":"9781501785726","price":87.23,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6550c4f879f155c82f20c6327976e746.jpg?v=1773777026"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/matthew-a-frakes.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
