Abstract: This paper analyzes the role of trade sanctions in the pursuit of political aims. We show that sanctions are mostly ineffective and have adverse distributional consequences. The example of South-Africa, in which case several court processes are pending, serves as an illustration of this general finding. In this particular case, the failure of sanctions can be attributed to the inconsistent policies of the sanctioning countries, rather than to failures of enterprises to adhere to official policies.
