Economic Sanctions after the Cold War

该项目调查了冷战后经济制裁的扩散。制裁的倡导者认为，制裁是武装冲突的和平替代办法，在不诉诸武力的情况下维护国际准则。 然而，制裁具有重大和不可预测的影响，其使用仍然存在很大争议。该项目借鉴了详细的档案研究，以了解自由主义政治如何将经济制裁视为非暴力的外交工具，以及这种观点如何受到那些受到他们的质疑。通过分析实施制裁所依据的道德、政治和经济理论，这项研究将为国际政治的一个重要方面提供新的视角。

This project investigates the post-Cold War proliferation of economic sanctions. Advocates of sanctions see them as peaceful alternatives to armed conflict that uphold international norms without resort to force. Yet sanctions have significant and unpredictable effects and their use remains deeply contested. This project draws on detailed archival research to understand how liberal polities have come to view economic sanctions as non-violent tools of diplomacy and how this view has been contested by those subjected to them. By analysing the moral, political and economic theories that inform the imposition of sanctions, the research will throw new light on a crucial dimension of international politics.
