The Sanctions Decade: Assessing UN Strategies in the 1990s

Cortright (research fellow at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame) and Lopez (government and international studies, University of Notre Dame) use this book as a forum for discussing the political, economic, and humanitarian implications of UN edicts. Based on more than two hundred interviews with officials from the UN and sanctioned countries, their study evaluates the success of this strategy and offers recommendations for increasing its effectiveness in diplomacy.
