"Pariah States" & Sanctions in the Middle East, September 1, 2001
This review is from: Pariah States & Sanctions in the Middle East: Iraq, Libya, Sudan (The Middle East in the International System) (Hardcover)
This is a excellent book that is well-written and full of insight and wisdom. Tim Niblock draws on his extensive experience in the Middle East to provide an informed and accurate assessment of the political economies of Iraq, Libya, and Sudan. In the process, he presents a skillfully constructed and cogently argued assessment of the impact of sanctions on the governments and peoples of Iraq, Libya, and Sudan. He emphasizes the limited impact of sanctions regimes as a means to modify public policy in general and to create a stable international environment in particular. This book should be mandatory reading for the bureaucrats, politicians, and diplomats involved in imposing sanctions regimes around the world.
