Description: "In modern world politics, the serious sinners are not only states. Terrorists, rebels, criminals and mercenaries also participate in the great game of who gets what, when and how. Deviant Conduct in World Politics introduces the sociological notion of deviance to study offensive conduct in international politics. It highlights the rules of good behaviour that both state and non-state actors have violated, and takes a novel approach to break through the narrow parameters of the rouge state paradigm and other state-centric perspectives."--BOOK JACKET.
