Description

Sanctions, it has often been said, stand between statements and soldiers. In situations where something more than a diplomatic dressing down is required, but where a military response is either inappropriate or impossible, sanctions are frequently turned to as a third option. As a result, sanctions are sometimes used as a default policy option, reflecting the seriousness of the problem rather than the seriousness of engagement with it. (1) As UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has stated, "getting sanctions fight has [often] been a less compelling goal than getting sanctions adopted." (2) Do sanctions work? The jury remains out on this question, but two preliminary issues bear further examination. What are sanctions intended to achieve? And do states actually "want" sanctions to work? These essentially political questions depend on two discrete dynamics that are the subject of this article, which focuses largely on sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council. The first is the political context of the Council and how the intentions of key actors are channeled into sanctions regimes. The second is the political economy in which those sanctions operate. The two areas will be examined in turn, followed by an examination of how debate within and without the United Nations might be advanced on these questions.
