This book brings together research materials concerning current policy issues and backgrounds of countries the US government has branded rogue countries. Each country presents different problems to the so-called developed countries. In the past, rogue countries could be safely ignored but with the miniaturisation of weapons progressing everyday, that safety is now illusory. Besides, several of them are rich in cheap oil and others are located at important strategic intersections in the world. This new book examines the issues that caused the branding and recommends policies which might make friends and influence people.
