Summary:

Economic sanctions have been imposed on dozens of countries and thousands of individuals, triggering humanitarian crises and creating economic chaos, often with little accountability. Sanctions can cause particular harm to vulnerable populations, including women, children, migrants, and the poor. Economic Sanctions from Havana to Baghdad: Legitimacy, Accountability, and Humanitarian Consequences addresses a range of issues in the design and implementation of the economic sanctions regimes that emerged in the post-Cold War era. Drawing on cases from Syria, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, and elsewhere, the chapters in this volume explore issues such as the gendered effects of sanctions; how migrants are affected; risk assessment practices by international businesses; how sanctions affect private actors such as banks; and the effects of sanctions on economic development, infrastructure, and access to health care. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
