Opis

It's hard to browse the news without seeing reports of yet another wielding of economic sanctions. Given how frequently nations use them, you'd think sanctions were a sure-fire weapon. Yet the record is quite mixed. In Sanctions: What Everyone Needs to Know®, eminent Bruce Jentleson-one of America's leading scholars on the subject-answers the fundamental questions about sanctions today: Why are they used to much? What are their varieties? What are thekey factors affecting their success? And why have they become the tool of first resort for states engaged in international conflict?

Recenzje

I'm often told how vital and effective sanctions are. Then I trip across confident assertions that sanctions seldom accomplish what they're supposed to. So I'm thankful that experts like my Duke University colleague Bruce Jentleson are around to resolve my confusion and explain it all, as he does in his new book. Frank Bruni, The New York Times
