Worst of the Worst: Dealing with Repressive and Rogue Nations

"This volume makes an unparalleled contribution to the growing and vital field of measurement and human rights. [The book] offers a useful categorization and assessment of repressive and 'rogue' states, allowing us to measure the extenet of repressive state behavior more accurately. His [Rotberg] work should embolden external critiques and facilitate more transparent and accountable foreign policy."

--Sarah Sewall, Director, Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, Harvard University
