Political Significance of Economic Sanctions

David W. Hunter

Chapter 6 in Western Trade Pressure on the Soviet Union, 1991, pp 75-85 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Even if the economic consequences of sanctions are not those originally expected or desired, sanctions may be successful in generating a desired political reaction. They may demonstrate unity within an alliance and firm resolve in taking some action; they may serve as a warning against policies or actions which may provoke sanctions; they may be designed to impress the domestic population of the sanctioning county. All of the possible objectives, symbolic and instrumental, are political in intention.
