Book Forum - The Economic Weapon: The Rise of Sanctions as a Tool of Modern War

Book Forum - The Economic Weapon: The Rise of Sanctions as a Tool of Modern War

Tracing the use of economic sanctions from the blockades of World War I to the policing of colonial empires and the interwar confrontation with fascism, Nicholas Mulder uses extensive archival research in a political, economic, legal, and military history that reveals how a coercive wartime tool was adopted as an instrument of peacekeeping by the League of Nations. This timely study casts an overdue light on why sanctions are widely considered a form of war, and why their consequences are so tremendous.

NICHOLAS MULDER, Assistant Professor of History at Cornell University, is a historian of twentieth-century European and international history. His research and teaching focuses on political economy, international institutions, and war. He also writes about contemporary politics and economics for a variety of publications.
