“Rogue States”
How useful is the concept?
![Page 2: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
I. Are some states worse than others?
A. Possible threats to international order1. “Rogue states” -- States that ignore international
norms and international law
2. “Revisionist states” -- States that seek to upset the status quo
3. “Aggressors” – States that violate the sovereignty and independence of other states

![Page 11: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3. Who sponsors terrorism?
Which state sponsored the following group? An Islamic fundamentalist group fighting a civil
war has the nasty habit of tying down prisoners, pouring gunpowder on their eyeballs and setting it alight. However, when it isn’t killing other groups in the civil war, it targets the military forces of a hated enemy. Its state sponsor gives it tons of weapons, including portable missiles for shooting down aircraft. It continues this aid even after the group targets a civilian airliner.
United States (Gulbuddin Hekmatyar)

![Page 14: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
5. Conclusions
a. Many states ignore international law, including prominent democracies such as the US
b. Even more states sponsor terror in some form
c. Similarly, most states violate human rights
d. Only WMD narrows the field substantially – and this field also includes prominent democracies
e. Conclusion: “Rogue state” is not a useful concept for predicting differences between states
![Page 15: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
II. Are some states more aggressive?
![Page 16: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
War initiators since 1980
Three times: USA (Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq) Twice: Iraq (Iran, Kuwait), Israel (Lebanon 1980
and 1982) Once:
Argentina (1982 occupation of Falklands) China (1987 attack on Vietnam) Armenia (1991 war with Azerbaijan, depending
on definition) Rwanda and perhaps Uganda (1998 war with the
DRC) Eritrea (1998 war with Ethiopia)

A. Power
Great powers fight more – but also cooperate more (foreign aid, support for IGOs, etc)
![Page 19: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
B. Regime: Democracy makes a difference
1. War initiation. Democracies:
a. May be slightly less likely to wage war in general
b. Are less likely to initiate war
2. Warfighting. Democracies at war:
a. Win battles and wars more frequently
b. Suffer fewer casualties
c. Undermine enemy morale by taking prisoners
d. Are not notably better at extracting resources to fight wars
![Page 20: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
3. Does Democratization Peace?a. Raw evidence suggests democratization is
dangerous
![Page 21: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
b. Democratization may be more dangerous in multi-ethnic societies
![Page 22: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
c. Counter-evidence: The 1989-1995 Transitions in Europe Interpretation: Stalled transitions are
dangerous but quick ones are not
![Page 23: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
d. Increased democracy decreases war risk – but is this always “democratization?”
![Page 24: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
e. Possible explanation: Regime change is the real danger
![Page 25: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
After controlling for regime change….
![Page 26: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
C. Conclusions
1. Watch out for powerful countries
2. Regime type does little to predict likelihood of war, but does reduce likelihood of aggression
3. Democratization is to be welcomed – if regime change is unavoidable
4. Limitations: Intangibles like “nationalism” are difficult to measure and evaluate
![Page 27: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Failed States: Sovereignty without authority
![Page 28: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
A. Three Paths to State Failure
1. Catastrophe: Something overwhelms state’s ability to provide even minimal protection or enforce law.
2. Sovereignty without institutionalization: State is created which lacks de-personalized institutions or capacity to extract taxes and monopolize force (de-colonization in Congo)
3. Poverty trap: State is so poor than virtually no surplus exists to support political institutions (like catastrophe, but long-standing)
![Page 29: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
B. Predicting catastrophic failure
1. Capacity to absorb catastrophe: essentially determined by wealth and efficient governance (GDP, Corruption)
![Page 30: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

C. Predicting de-institutionalization
1. Recent decolonization/independence -- “New” states at risk
![Page 43: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
2. State “birth” type and institutional strengtha. Hypothesis: States born in revolution,
secession, or nonviolent struggle for independence should be stronger than those granted independence without struggle (examples: Congo, Uzbekistan)
b. IV = Better birth experience (requiring organization and solution of collective action problems)
c. Tests using both GDP and Rotberg’s (2004) index of state failure as DVs reveal…
![Page 44: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
d. The puzzle of state birth
Good births increase later GDP and decrease odds of state failure but… Relationship disappears when war
participation is also included as a (control) IV. Why?
Theory: War produces state strength. Interstate war increases later growth! Civil war decreases later growth
Another finding: States with imposed borders different from pre-colonization ones have lower growth, higher rates of failure
![Page 45: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
D. Predicting civil war
1. Causes of civil war – Weak States and Opportunism
a. Weak States: Low GDP and…

D. Predicting civil war
1. Geographic Factorsa. Land Area: Bigger countries more
prone to secessionism
b. Terrain: Mountains increase war risk (less evidence for jungles or forests)
c. Resources: Oil increases risk (less evidence for metals and diamonds)
d. Neighborhood: Contagion effects
![Page 47: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
2. Economic Factors
a. Per-capita GDP: Both level and growth rate reduce war risk, but “vertical” inequality has no effect (few studies of “horizontal” inequality)
b. Primary commodity exports: Countries dependent on raw material exports are war-prone
c. Social welfare: Low infant mortality and high secondary school enrollment reduce war risk
d. Agriculture: Soil degradation increases war risk
![Page 48: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
3. Political Factors
a. History: Recent wars increase risk (effect lasts for more than 10 years)
b. Regime type: Anocracy is dangerous
![Page 49: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Anocracy and State Failure
![Page 50: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
3. Political Factors
a. History: Recent wars increase risk (effect lasts for more than 10 years)
b. Regime type: Anocracy is dangerous (and strong democracy is better than autocracy)
c. Regime change: Political instability increases war risk
![Page 51: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
4. Demographics
a. Population: More people = higher risk (but evidence on population density is mixed)
b. Diversity: Results are mixed, but some studies find ethnic heterogeneity increases risk (no real evidence for linguistic, religious, or social diversity)

A. Modernization Theory
…aka Neoclassical or Development Economics
1. Western-centric “stages of development”
2. Implicationsa. S-Shaped Growth Curve
b. Convergence – Size of national economies will eventually be determined only by population (more or less equal GDP per capita)
3. Recommendations: Agricultural surpluses, resource extraction, foreign investment, loans and aid, free capital markets, political stability (possibly authoritarianism)

4. Problems with modernization theory
a. Authoritarian regimes often renege on promises of development, become corrupt
b. West used state intervention to develop: Germany and France needed industrial banks, Russia and Japan needed massive state involvement and protectionism
c. Capital not reinvested in industry

B. Neoliberalism: An update to modernization theory
1. New Institutionalism: Institutions must create incentives for investment (transparency, prevent corruption, prevent rent-seeking) embrace democracy and limited government
![Page 70: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
B. Neoliberalism: An update to modernization theory?
1. New Institutionalism: Institutions must create incentives for investment (transparency, prevent corruption, prevent rent-seeking) embrace democracy and limited government
2. Embrace export-led development: invest in infrastructure relevant to modern industries
3. Structural Adjustment: Austerity programs to reduce government spending and tax burden (increasing private investment, preventing debt spiral)
4. Focus on “micro” incentives to individuals/firms rather than “macro” national development projects (dams, power plants, railroads, etc.)
![Page 71: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
5. Evidence against Neoliberalism
1. Sill cannot explain NICs: autocracy “worked” in Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong
a. “Developmental State” – government picked winners and losers
b. Export-led industrialization did not emerge “naturally”
2. Difficult to sustain free market and democracy in poor states
3. Self-serving: All recommendations tend to help foreign investors, but many harm domestic poor
![Page 72: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
C. Dependency theory
1. Capitalism creates dependence by poor “peripheral” states on commodity exports to “core” states, which impose unfair terms of trade (foreign investment and loans strings attached)

C. Dependency theory
1. Capitalism creates dependence by poor “peripheral” states on commodity exports to “core” states, which impose unfair terms of trade (foreign investment and loans strings attached)
2. Profits are used to buy imports rather than re-invest in the country
3. The “Iron Triangle” of dependency theory: MNCs, Civilian Elites, Military conspire to generate profits (must analyze at lower level of analysis)

4. Policy Recommendations
a. Radical Variant: De-Linking (Autarky) and South-South Links. Example = Maoism
Emphasize industrialization at expense of agriculture (esp. Great Leap Forward)
b. Moderate variant: Import-Substituting Industrialization (ISI)
Tariffs and Subsidies directed to replacing imports with domestically-produced goods
Shift from primary to manufactured products

6. Shortcomings of Dependency Theory
a. ISI = inefficiency. Worse products, subsidies undermine incentives to expand size of domestic market
b. Consumers rejected protectionism -- Even dependency theorist Cardoso governed as a neoliberal!
c. Urban focus undermines farming: All those city workers need cheap food…. price controls and perverse incentives
d. The problem of the NICs… Investment increased growth!

D. Conclusions: The puzzle of poverty
1. Overview:Modernization Neoliberalism Dependency
Core Assumption
Economies naturally progress through stages
Free markets in free societies generate growth
Structure of world economy prevents peripheral development
Economic policies
Borrow money and sell commodities to finance industrialization
Free trade: Privatize, reduce social spending, balance budget
Reduce dependence (autarky or ISI)
Politics Insulate economic policy from public (autocracy or independence)
Libertarian democracy: Low taxes, low spending, minimal state
Prevent foreign-domestic alliances and empower urban workers
![Page 90: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
2. No Panaceas
a. No theory completely explains NICs: Autocracy and Protection Export-led growth
b. “Path dependence” – existing investments and coalitions limit policy flexibility (history matters)
c. Is development even a state-level process? We must revisit the issue at the sub-state level!
![Page 91: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)

A. Does foreign aid work?
1. Aid and corruption: No overall correlation, positive or negative
a. More corrupt countries tend to attract US aidb. Less corrupt countries tend to attract aid from
Australia and Scandinavia
2. Aid and growtha. “Good policies” -- Aid may have positive
effectb. “Bad policies” -- Aid has no effectc. Problem: Hard to establish effect of aid on
growth. Why?

1. Can Regime Be Imposed?
Clear answer = Yes. Plenty of examples of long-term regime change imposed from outside (Germany and Japan after World War II)
Most wars and interventions do not result in regime change
![Page 96: “Rogue States” How useful is the concept?. I. Are some states worse than others? A. Possible threats to international order 1. “Rogue states” -- States.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110208/56649ddf5503460f94ad8b92/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)

2. When does regime type imposition occur?
a. Great power politics – Most regime changes imposed by great powers
b. Government type defines coalitions – World politics is ordered around domestic institutional choices: Catholic vs. Protestant, Monarchy vs. Republic, Democracy vs. Fascism, Capitalism vs. Communism
c. Democratization requires decision of conqueror and successful implementation. Example: US military intervention

i. Want to end the war quickly? Let the strong crush the weak
ii. Want to find a compromise? Write off another 10,000 people

Are some states worse than others?
A. “Rogue states” – Concept isn’t useful B. “Revisionist states” – Power and regime type,
not status, seem to be key. Beware strong autocracies!
C. “Failed states” – Beware new, poor, states with lootable resources.
D. “Least developed states” – No panaceas: Need a sub-state theory of state performance. Good policies make aid more effective.
E. “Outposts of Tyranny” – Regime change is dangerous, but we should promote democracy when transitions are inevitable
