Synopsis

International sanctions are often imposed in response to diverse crises and problems, but there is little agreement about the intent with which they are used. This book unveils how sanctions can influence their targets and it investigates the systemic causes of these mechanisms. Sanctions can coerce, constrain and signal targets in the international system, but the power to decide among these three types is limited the context in which actors decide.
