Reviews:

• Does the world really need another book on economic sanctions? In this case the answer is yes. The authors contribute usefully to a congested field by providing very thorough and thoughtful case studies of US economic sanctions against China, Cuba, and Iran....the authors look at precisely what sorts of economic sanctions were imposed and detail the different consequences on trade, investment, and technology transfer in the various affected sectors of these countries over time plus effects on third-party nations. The result is a multidimensional perspective that allows a fuller grasp of the direct and indirect costs and trade-offs inherent in economic statecraft in these examples of unilateral sanctions and the likelihood of detrimental unintended consequences. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, and policy makers.
