Dynamic Of Sanctions In World Affairs

The existing literature on sanctions consists of either case studies which deal with the particular issues associated with the selected states or articles of the journals which plead, predominantly, the case of sanction-imposing states or newspaper write-ups and editorial comments which analyse the current situation. There is no book on sanctions as such.
An attempt has been made in this book to cover up all the selective aspects of the existing literature on sanctions. It discusses concepts, issues, dilemmas, paradox, theories, perspectives of sender and target states as allies and as adversaries, the goals, the objectives, the quantum of success and failure or effectiveness and ineffectiveness. These crucial issue-areas of sanctions run in fact, like common thread, through all the following Chapters:
(1) The Humanitarian Intervention: Sanction Fixation
(2) Sanction Paradox
(3) Theories of Sanctions
(4) South Korea and North Korea
(5) Iran and Iraq
(6) India and Pakistan
(7) UN Sanction
(8) Conclusion
Thus, the book takes the comprehensive view of sanctions. And in this respect, out of the existing literature of “exclusive” nature, it endeavours to develop the “inclusive” dimension. As such it is hoped that the readers shall have all aspects of sanctions in a single Volume, not easily available elsewhere.
