In the Bush era, Iran and North Korea were branded 鈥渞ogue鈥� states for their flouting of international norms, and changing their regimes was the administration鈥檚 goal. The Obama administration has chosen instead to call these countries nuclear 鈥渙utliers鈥� and has proposed means other than regime change to bring them back into 鈥渢he community of nations.鈥� Can the 鈥渙utliers鈥� be integrated into the international community? And how should the United States respond if outlier regimes eschew integration and continue to augment their nuclear capabilities?

Outlier States: American Strategies to Change, Contain, or Engage Regimes, the successor to Litwak's influential Regime Change: U.S. Strategy through the Prism of 9/11 (2007), explores this significant policy adjustment and raises questions about its feasibility and its possible consequences.
