Since the end of the Cold War, economic sanctions have been
a frequent instrument of United Nations authority, imposed
by the Security Council against nearly a dozen targets. Some
efforts appear to have been successful, others are more
doubtful—all, though, have been controversial. This book,
based on more than two hundred interviews with officials
from the UN, the sanctioned countries, and with other
involved actors provides the first comprehensive assessment
of the effectiveness of UN sanctions during the 1990s. The authors develop a set of criteria for judging the full
impact of sanctions—political, economic, and
humanitarian—and then provide detailed studies of eleven
cases. They conclude with far-reaching recommendations for
increasing the viability of sanctions as a productive
diplomatic tool.
