Shrewd Sanctions: Statecraft and State Sponsors of Terrorism

by Meghan L. O'sullivan

Shrewd Sanctions: Statecraft and State Sponsors of Terrorism Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

O'Sullivan (policy planning, U.S. State Department) analyzes and integrates four case studies of U.S. imposition of economic sanctions as a tool of foreign policy: Iran, Iraq, Sudan, and Libya. Largely dismissing any questions about the morality of sanctions (aside from briefly brushing aside claims of millions of dead Iraqi children as Iraqi propaganda), she judges the effectiveness of the sanctions regimes in accomplishing foreign policy goals to be strong. She suggests that they shouldn't always be seen in terms of producing immediate political change and that they can be useful in "containment," especially if crafted carefully to fit each particular case. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
