    摘要、提要註: The interactions between popular culture and public policy in general, and foreign policy in particular, have always been an important areaof scholarly enquiry and popular interest. However with the end of thebipolar world system and the emergence of a single world superpower inthe form of the United States of America, which is waging a War Against Terror, this nexus has become critical.  This is especially truebecause of the almost Manichean tendency of the United States to see other countries in terms of "good" or "evil". Indeed President Bush himself has coined the term "The Axis of Evil" for states, which in a kinder age were simply referred to by his predecessors as being "Rogue States". This book draws together elements from several academic disciplines - politics, international relations, psychology, film and cultural studies and examines US foreign policy toward the so-called "rogue states" and the products of the Hollywood film industry in relation to these states, which promises to make a significant contribution to our understanding of the 'soft power' that ispopular culture.
