The Effectiveness of Economic Sanctions
For a number of years I have been interested in foreign policy and diplomacy. What it is, how it’s implemented, and its effects on everyday peoples lives are all things I’m trying to understand. One tool of foreign policy that I find to be very interesting is the economic sanction. Economic sanctions have produced a variety of mixed results from over the years. They are often credited with being a driving force for the collapse of South Africa’s Apartheid government. However they have also created a martyr out of rogue nations like Iran and North Korea, whose people have become increasingly radicalized under these harsh sanctions. Therefore, it is my hypothesis that economic sanctions could work when they weaken a country’s people and force them to revolt against their own government and give in to your demands.
Specific Questions: How can Economic Sanctions refrain from making a martyr out of a people’s government?
How do Economic Sanctions target the finances of rogue nations and opposition leaders?
How can Economic Sanctions punish a country in opposition to military force?
What effect does an Economic Sanction have on everyday life?
