In my blog I will focus on U.S. Foreign Policy toward countries deemed as rogue nations. I will seek to investigate the concept of “rogue nations,” the role the phrase plays in U.S. Foreign Policy, and the way the media portrays issues involving such countries. In order to accomplish this mission, I will examine journal articles and other scholarly works pertaining to rogue states; I will interview members of the Furman and Greenville communities, and Furman professors with expertise in foreign policy and the use of language to frame and reconstitute issues; and I will examine newspaper articles and other media related to the topic.
