For those that like to read.......
An interesting paper exploring the nuances of what are called "sanctions" and what examples from history might teach us.
I hope this extract from the conclusion isn't a spoiler! 😬
"By way of conclusion, it may serve to explain what motivated
this project, and what is yet to be done. This Article’s research into
the Chinese boycotts began with the recognition that most of the
literature on “sanctions” in international law and politics is focused on
programs by Western countries and major international organizations.
This focus is not unwarranted, given the size and scope of U.S.
sanctions in particular, and the millions of people who are subject to
them. Nevertheless, the hypothesis was that we miss important aspects
of the story by focusing only on the Western cases, to the exclusion of
acts of force and resistance by smaller states or other actors. This
investigation of the Chinese boycotts, it is submitted, validates this
hypothesis by showing the importance of that story to the development of international law and to broadening the horizons for
descriptive and normative inquiry."
