The Efficacy of Economic Statecraft: Why Some Sanctions AreMore Successful than Others

把经济制裁作为外交政策的工具， 一个历史悠久的做法。 然而，随着关于 美国对一些国家实施制裁， 南非和伊拉克的情况表明， 制裁的有效性。 在某些地方在某些时候 制裁似乎产生了理想的结果;在其他 有些地方和其他时候他们没有。 以前的研究 这个话题是不确定的，部分原因是现有的研究 已对使用 在不同的情况下，在不同的条件下进行制裁。 这个非常有前途的少数民族研究启动计划拨款 将支持初步研究的条件下， 经济制裁可能或多或少有效。 的 规划补助金将支持对文献进行详尽的审查， 调查现有的数据来源，并制定一个系统的 为进一步研究这一重要问题而进行的研究设计 话题 当完成这个项目应提供基本的发射 一项系统而严谨的研究， 制裁是外交政策的工具。//

The use of economic sanctions as instruments of foreign policy is a time honored practice. However, as the continuing debate about the use of sanctions by the United States against nations such as South Africa and Iraq demonstrates, there is little agreement about the effectiveness of sanctions. In some places at some times sanctions appear to have produced desirable results; in other places and other times they have not. Previous research on the topic is inconclusive, in part because none of the existing studies has undertaken systematic and rigorous assessments of the use of sanctions in different contexts and under varying conditions. This very promising Minority Research Initiation planning grant will support preliminary research on the conditions under which economic sanctions are likely to be more or less effective. The planning grant will support an exhaustive review of the literature, a survey of extant data sources, and development of a systematic research design for conducting further research on this important topic. When completed this project should provide the basic for launching a systematic and rigorous study of the efficacy of economic sanctions as instruments of foreign policy. //
