Chapter 7 in International Sanctions in Contemporary Perspective, 1987, pp 88-109 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter focuses on the major issues and problems faced by governments who resort to collective sanctions. Group decisions are more difficult to take and to implement than individual decisions; where interests diverge, compromise is needed to achieve consensus. Concerted international action requires cooperation in policy making and policy implementation by states of different size and strength who may have different values and competing ideologies. Each will be jealous of its own sovereignty and prestige and intent on pursuing national goals. Moreover governments are responsible to their domestic constituencies and cannot be seen as neglectful of domestic interests.
