Silver Bullet or Harmless Dud?

Since the end of the Cold War, economic sanctions have been imposed more often than ever before. At the same time, there are doubts as to their effectiveness. The fact is that apart from economic sanctions, there are few options between words and warfare to induce a change of behaviour in international actors. Therefore, sanctions will remain an important element of the foreign and security policy toolbox of the community of states. Consequently, the debate over when the imposition of economic measures is useful, and how such sanctions regimes should be designed, is gaining importance.
