Sanctions-Happy USA

Gary Hufbauer

No PB98-4, Policy Briefs from Peterson Institute for International Economics

Abstract: Stating the obvious, President Clinton recently lamented that the United States has become "sanctions happy." Clinton, of course, is the same president who has signed laws for new punitive measures against India, Pakistan, Cuba, Iran and Libya and has used his executive powers to add to the rich legacy of sanctions inherited from past occupants of the White House.
