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.
