Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing use of U.S. and multilateral economic sanctions--and the increasing and controversial attention such measures are attracting internationally--create a need for a detailed legal analysis of the subject and its policy implications for both U.S. practitioners and their counterparts in other countries. The expanding field of sanctions is especially worthy of close scrutiny as it generates significant (and often inadvertent) influence on finance and trade. Increasingly, lawyers and business people involved in international transactions must take account of the risks, both actual and potential, inherent in compliance with economic sanctions on trading partners. This major new work, a completely revised successor edition to the author's much-cited Economic Sanctions and U.S. Trade, shifts the main emphasis from the mechanics of applying foreign policy objectives to a careful and complete articulation of what those goals are or ought to be--an approach that leads inevitably to a concrete methodology for assessing the effectiveness of sanctions. In the process the book examines such salient characteristics of the current and developing sanctions regime as the following: the growing prominence of U.S. Congressionally-mandated sanctions programs; the complex interaction of economic sanctions and trade policy; and the marked increase in multilateral sanctions programs in which the U.S. is a participant. In-depth analysis of major U.S. sanctions programs (those imposed on Cuba, Libya, and Iraq, as well as several other lesser programs) presents numerous hypothetical but realistic international scenarios, demonstrating their working-out under the practical application of specific elements of each sanctions program.

Download or read book Sanctions as Economic Statecraft written by S. Chan and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2000-07-14 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches economic sanctions as a form of statecraft in order to better study the oft used but not well understood policy. The chapters study a variety of historical and current cases involving the use of economic threats and promises. Their authors come from both academic and policy making fields, as well as different disciplinary backgrounds (political science and economics). They apply different research approaches (case studies, statistical analysis, formal economics) to increase our understanding of the sanction puzzle.
Download or read book Theory and Practice of Export Control written by Dai Tamada and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to focus on the theoretical and practical issues of export control. It combines the points of view of Japanese and French academics and practitioners, including personnel at several governmental institutions and private companies. Presenting the results of a collaboration between Japanese and French academics, it contributes to the development of a new debate on export control. Although export control has been discussed within the framework of international law in terms of peace and security, its scope has now been expanded to international economic law (i.e., WTO law and international investment law). This means that in order to discuss export control appropriately, the two areas of law have to be combined. At the same time, this topic is not only academic and theoretical but touches upon very real and practical aspects of trade, export, and foreign investment. When we tighten embargos and economic sanctions for anti-terrorism or anti-nuclearization purposes, we encounter more and more cases of conflict between security and the liberalization of economic relations in the world. For this reason, a wide range of collaborative work is needed in this area. This timely book addresses various aspects of the current export control debate.
Download or read book International Economic Sanctions written by William H Kaempfer and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 1992-09-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incidence of sanctioning behaviour is generally on the increase internationally. This study introduces, analyzes and seeks to clarify the issues that are fundamental to an understanding of the subject. The authors argue that only a public-choice analysis, with its emphasis on politics, can answer three important questions about sanctions: why, in the light of their weak economic impacts, are they being used more and more frequently?; why is it that they take the particular forms they do?; and why are they often successful even when their economic impact is slight?
Download or read book A Strategic Understanding of UN Economic Sanctions written by Golnoosh Hakimdavar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic Sanctions are increasingly used as a legal, non-military technique of combating abusers of international peace. However it remains unclear how the success or failure of these sanctions is measured. This book examines the seldom-explored United Nations’ economic sanctions deliberation process and exposes systematic problems in the measurement of the success or failure of these sanctions. Centering on the key concepts of "peace and security," the author brings the reader’s attention to the discrepancies that exist in the process of decision-making, implementation, and evaluation of UN imposed economic sanctions. She engages international law and development methods to provide proof for the lack of consensus in measures of success and failure, which in turn suggests that sanction implementation on a uniform domestic front are unattainable. This thorough analysis concludes with suggestions for improving the sanctions process, only to clear the path for negating them as a whole and suggest alternative non-coercive measures for mitigating conflict situations and threats to peace and security.

Download or read book The Ineffectiveness of Economic Sanctions Against Major Powers written by Dhruva Jaishankar and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While economic sanctions remain an attractive tool of coercion in international politics, they have a poor record of altering the behavior of major powers such as China and India over the past quarter century. U.S. sanctions against China following the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 were resisted by the George H.W. Bush administration, which was eager to engage Beijing and advance Sino-American economic ties. After the Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998, India was also able to withstand American sanctions that were opposed by key members of the U.S. Congress. In both cases, multilateral economic sanctions were also undermined by the reluctance of key U.S. allies, including Japan in the case of China and France in the case of India. There were considerable differences between the two cases in terms of U.S. objectives, Chinese and Indian vulnerabilities, and levels of uncertainty. But taken together, they suggest that economic sanctions are difficult to impose almost impossible to sustain against major powers in a globalized world. This, in turn, has several implications for the theory and practice of international relations, hastening the onset of multipolarity, questioning the inevitability of interdependent peace, and suggesting a continuing need for the United States to maintain its military superiority in a peaceful globalized world.

Download or read book Economic Statecraft and Foreign Policy written by Jean-Marc F. Blanchard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a unified theory of economic statecraft to clarify when and how sanctions and incentives can be used effectively to secure meaningful policy concessions. High-profile applications of economic statecraft have yielded varying degrees of success. The mixed record of economic incentives and economic sanctions in many cases raises important questions. Under what conditions can states modify the behaviour of other states by offering them tangible economic rewards or by threatening to disrupt existing economic relations? To what extent does the success of economic statecraft depend on the magnitude of economic penalties and rewards? In order to answer these questions, this book develops two analytic models: one weighs the threats economic statecraft poses to the Target’s Strategic Interests (TSI); while the other (stateness) assesses the degree to which the target state is insulated from domestic political pressures that senders attempt to generate or exploit. Through a series of carefully crafted case studies, including African apartheid and Japanese incentives to obtain the return of the Northern Territories, the authors demonstrate how their model can yield important policy insights in regards to contemporary economic sanctions and incentives cases, such as Iran and North Korea. This book will be of much interest to students of statecraft, sanctions, diplomacy, foreign policy, and international security in general.
Download or read book Sanctions written by Bruce W. Jentleson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Even before the extensive sanctions imposed on Russia for its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, it was hard to browse the news without seeing reports of yet another set of sanctions. The United States has sanctions against over 30 countries as well as drug traffickers, terrorist organizations and specially designated individuals. China long has been a target of sanctions and in recent years increasingly a wielder against countries and companies even organizations like the National Basketball Association (NBA). Russia also has been sanctions sender as well as target. The European Union has joined some of the American sanctions as well as imposing its own. In some cases the United Nations has authorized fully multilateral sanctions. While being used more frequently in recent years sanctions go back decades, indeed centuries, to such cases as the 432 BC Athens against Sparta and Napoleon's 1808-1814 Continental System. Given such frequency of use, you'd think sanctions were a sure-fire weapon. Yet the record is quite mixed. So some initial puzzles: Why are economic sanctions used so much? What are the key factors affecting their success? These and related questions are well suited for an Oxford University Press What Everyone Needs to Know book. They long have been important among international relations scholars, spanning international security and international political economy subfields. And with sanctions such a recurring foreign policy strategy, they are crucial for policy makers. As someone who has both studied sanctions as a scholar and worked on these issues while serving in key U.S. foreign policy positions, Bruce W. Jentleson is well suited to provide analysis valuable for students, scholars and practitioners"--
