In the process the book examines such salient characteristics of the current and developing sanctions regime as the following: + the growing prominence of U.S. Congressionally-mandated sanctions programs; + the complex interaction of economic sanctions and trade policy; and + the marked increase in multilateral sanctions programs in which the U.S. is a participant. In-depth analysis of major U.S. sanctions programs (those imposed on Cuba, Libya, and Iraq, as well as several other lesser programs) presents numerous hypothetical but realistic international scenarios, demonstrating their working-out under the practical application of specific elements of each sanctions program. In this way U.S. Economic Sanctions: Theory and Practice provides the clearest, most explicit view of the legal contours and effects of this enormously significant aspect of international relations today.
