Book excerpt: On June 4, 1998, Senator Richard Lugar circulated a "Dear Colleague" letter, stating it was his intention at the earliest opportunity to offer an amendment on the floor based on S. 1413, the "Enhancement of Trade, Security, and Human Rights through Sanctions Reform Act." S. 1413 â€" its House counterpart is H.R. 2708, introduced by Representative Hamilton and others â€" seeks to clarify the use of unilateral sanctions in U.S. foreign policy imposed at the initiative of either the Administration or Congress. S. 1413/H.R. 2708 would revise procedures both branches would follow before enacting or imposing sanctions, and would require extensive reporting as to the expected costs and benefits of imposing sanctions. The measures were considered unlikely to be enacted in this Congress as freestanding bills. Senator Lugar's announcement, however, increases the odds of enactment. Press reports suggest that the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999 (S. 2057), currently under Senate consideration, is the most likely legislative vehicle for such an amendment. The 105th Congress, otherwise, currently has under consideration new sanctions legislation specifically relating to religious persecution, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, conventional arms sales and transfers, export controls, terrorism, international narcotics control, travel restrictions, environment, workers rights (including issues of prison or forced labor and child labor), humanitarian donations of food and medicine, war crimes, torture, and human rights. Other, more routine, legislative initiatives (annual appropriations bills, for example) have become the means to target individual countries for behavior of which the United States disapproves. Economic sanctions typically include measures such as trade embargoes; restrictions on particular exports or imports; denial of foreign assistance, loans, and investments; or control of foreign assets and economic transactions that involve U.S. citizens or businesses. Some suggest that there is a post-Cold War trend toward sanctions becoming the method of first resort in foreign policy. A recent National Association of Manufacturers report (March 1997) states that 61 U.S. laws and executive orders have been enacted in the last four years alone--targeting 35 countries--for foreign policy purposes. A frequently cited report issued by the Institute for International Economics (April 1997) concludes that U.S. unilateral sanctions may have cost U.S. businesses some $15-19 billion in 1995 alone. Others contend that sanctions, unilateral or otherwise, are a peacetime means to improving international behavior in important areas such as human rights or weapons proliferation, and should not be avoided solely for trade concerns. This report provides background on foreign policy sanctions and the events that might necessitate their use, criteria to consider when determining if sanctions are appropriate, approaches that might be effective, and aspects of the use of sanctions that are sometimes overlooked or not considered fully.

Book excerpt: Black & white print. American Government 3e aligns with the topics and objectives of many government courses. Faculty involved in the project have endeavored to make government workings, issues, debates, and impacts meaningful and memorable to students while maintaining the conceptual coverage and rigor inherent in the subject. With this objective in mind, the content of this textbook has been developed and arranged to provide a logical progression from the fundamental principles of institutional design at the founding, to avenues of political participation, to thorough coverage of the political structures that constitute American government. The book builds upon what students have already learned and emphasizes connections between topics as well as between theory and applications. The goal of each section is to enable students not just to recognize concepts, but to work with them in ways that will be useful in later courses, future careers, and as engaged citizens. In order to help students understand the ways that government, society, and individuals interconnect, the revision includes more examples and details regarding the lived experiences of diverse groups and communities within the United States. The authors and reviewers sought to strike a balance between confronting the negative and harmful elements of American government, history, and current events, while demonstrating progress in overcoming them. In doing so, the approach seeks to provide instructors with ample opportunities to open discussions, extend and update concepts, and drive deeper engagement.

Download or read book Busted Sanctions written by Bryan Early and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powerful countries like the United States regularly employ economic sanctions as a tool for promoting their foreign policy interests. Yet this foreign policy tool has an uninspiring track record of success, with economic sanctions achieving their goals less than a third of the time they are imposed. The costs of these failed sanctions policies can be significant for the states that impose them, their targets, and the other countries they affect. Explaining economic sanctions' high failure rate therefore constitutes a vital endeavor for academics and policy-makers alike. Busted Sanctions seeks to provide this explanation, and reveals that the primary cause of this failure is third-party spoilers, or sanctions busters, who undercut sanctioning efforts by providing their targets with extensive foreign aid or sanctions-busting trade. In quantitatively and qualitatively analyzing over 60 years of U.S. economic sanctions, Bryan Early reveals that both types of third-party sanctions busters have played a major role in undermining U.S. economic sanctions. Surprisingly, his analysis also reveals that the United States' closest allies are often its sanctions' worst enemies. The book offers the first comprehensive explanation for why different types of sanctions busting occur and reveals the devastating effects it has on economic sanctions' chances of success.
