Case Studies in Sanctions and Terrorism

The Institute’s work on economic sanctions was developed in the 1980s and has constantly been updated and revised since then by the intact team of Gary Clyde Hufbauer, Jeffrey J. Schott, Kimberly Ann Elliott, and Barbara Oegg. The team’s latest analysis and recommendations and more than 200 case studies have been published as a CD-ROM in the third edition of Economic Sanctions Reconsidered.
