Economic Sanctions: Pre-World War II Through Cold War

David W. Hunter

Chapter 2 in Western Trade Pressure on the Soviet Union, 1991, pp 14-25 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In 1925, British Foreign Secretary Austen Chamberlain stated in the League of Nations: ‘The great advantage of economic sanctions, is … they do not involve the resort to force.’1 The commonly held view was that economic sanctions were the perfect weapon to pressure states into compliance without blood being spilt or lives lost. By 1980, however, Adler-Karlsson had reached a different conclusion: economic sanctions as instruments of foreign policy almost never worked.2
