The United States has been almost alone in using unilateral economic sanctions as a foreign policy instrument, despite inherent problems. This volume is the first full-length study devoted solely to unilateral sanctions, particularly as they have been used in the changed international economic realities of the 1990"s. Ernest Preeg centers his investigation on five in-depth country case studies-of China , Cuba, Iran, Myanmar (formerly Burma), and Vietnam--to see whether they achieve their intended objectives and at what cost to other U.S. interests. Each case study includes an assessment of the economic impact on the target country, the related adverse consequences for U.S. commercial interests, and a detailed account of the U.S. policy process for adopting and implementing the sanctions. The author"s work is part of a broader CSIS project on unilateral economic sanctions steered by a distinguished committee cochaired by four members of Congress.
