In recent years, the international community has increasingly come
to abandon the use of comprehensive sanctions in favour of targeted
sanctions. Unlike adopting a coercive strategy on entire states,
actors like the United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU)
have come to resort to measures that are aimed at individuals,
groups and government members. Targeted sanctions involve adopting
measures such as asset freezes, travel bans, commodity sanctions,
as well as arms embargoes. Eriksson argues that recent changes in
the practice of sanctions from comprehensive to targeted sanctions
requires a new way of understanding international sanctions
practice. Not only do we need to rethink our methodology to assess
recent practice, but also to rethink the very theory of sanctions.
This valuable new perspective provides recent thinking on targeted
sanctions, trends in practice and unique case studies for
evaluation. Based on substantial research, this is a must-read for
students, scholars and practitioners interested in international
politics.
