Abstract
Lee Jones’s monograph is the first Western Gramscian study of international economic sanctions as a tool for coercing target countries to change public policy. Jones has developed and applied a sociological method to assess the potential success of sanctions through analysis of social conflict. An in-depth sociological study of power and opposition coalitions reveals the reasons for the successes and failures of various types of sanctions policies. The book demonstrates the strikingly low success rate of sanctions campaigns and reveals the reason for the continuation of sanctions despite their low effectiveness.References
