The Scope of the Inquiry

Margaret P. Doxey

Chapter 1 in Economic Sanctions and International Enforcement, 1980, pp 1-8 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This study is concerned with the collective exercise of coercion by economic means and particularly with the recourse to international economic sanctions. The subject is one of considerable and continuing interest: United Nations sanctions against Rhodesia (renamed Zimbabwe-Rhodesia in 1979) have been in force since 1966; an arms embargo was imposed on South Africa in 1977; the Arab oil-producing countries made dramatic use of the ‘oil weapon’ in 1973; Cuba was subjected to OAS sanctions for over a decade. When are economic sanctions justified? Can they work? What costs do they carry? These are some of the questions this book seeks to answer.
