Overview
The first international history of the emergence of
economic sanctions during the interwar period and the legacy of
this development Economic sanctions dominate the landscape
of world politics today. First developed in the early twentieth
century as a way of exploiting the flows of globalization to defend
liberal internationalism, their appeal is that they function as an
alternative to war. This view, however, ignores the dark paradox at
their core: designed to prevent war, economic sanctions are modeled
on devastating techniques of warfare. Tracing the use of economic
sanctions from the blockades of World War I to the policing of
colonial empires and the interwar confrontation with fascism,
Nicholas Mulder uses extensive archival research in a political,
economic, legal, and military history that reveals how a coercive
wartime tool was adopted as an instrument of peacekeeping by the
League of Nations. This timely study casts an overdue light on why
sanctions are widely considered a form of war, and why their
unintended consequences are so tremendous.
