A concise, authoritative overview of a little-understood yet
extremely important phenomenon in world politics: the use of
economic sanctions by one country to punish another. It's hard to
browse the news without seeing reports of yet another imposition of
sanctions by one country on another. The United States has
sanctions against more than 30 countries. Russia has repeatedly
imposed sanctions against former Soviet republics. China has
developed its own approach, including targeting private entities
such as the NBA. And it's not just major powers: Japan and South
Korea have sanctioned each other over WWII and colonial legacies;
Saudi Arabia against Qatar because of differences over Iran; and
France, Germany, and Norway against Brazil over the Amazon forest
and climate change. In Sanctions: What Everyone Needs to Know (R),
Bruce Jentleson-one of America's leading scholars on the
subject-answers the fundamental questions about sanctions today:
Why are they used so much? What are their varieties? What are the
key factors affecting their success? Why have they become the tool
of first resort for states engaged in international conflict?
Jentleson demonstrates that examining sanctions is key to
understanding international relations and explains how and why they
will likely continue to bear on global politics.
