The Politics of UN Targeted Sanctions

Abstract

UN targeted sanctions are a potentially powerful instrument to tackle challenges to international peace and security, also as an alternative to the use of military force. Hence these kinds of sanctions have received increased attention by scholars and practitioners in recent years and there have been several efforts at constructing new datasets and collecting empirical evidence. While most existing work focuses on the questions of when and where sanctions are applied, and the conditions under which these are effective in reaching their aims, the contributions to this panel explore the design of targeted sanctions, their unintended consequences, power relations between senders and targets, and differences in the sanctioning policies of international organizations, including the United Nations, the African Union and the European Union.
