Summary:

Economic sanctions have an uninspiring record of success, achieving their goals less than a third of the time. By quantitatively and qualitatively analyzing over sixty years of U.S. economics sanctions, Bryan Early reveals that the primary cause of this failure rate are third-party spoilers, or sanctions ousters-often the United States' closest allies-who have undercut U.S. sanctioning efforts by providing their targets with extensive foreign aid or sanctions-busting trade.
