First developed in the early twentieth century as a way to use the flows of globalization to defend liberal internationalism, their continuing appeal is that they function as an alternative to war. This view, however, ignores the dark paradox at their core: designed to prevent war, economic sanctions are modeled on devastating techniques of warfare. 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 combines extensive archival research with political, economic, legal, and military history to reveal 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 unintended consequences are so tremendous. 505 00 $g Conclusion: $t From antidote to alternative. $t The machinery of blockade, 1914-1917 -- $t The birth of sanctions from the spirit of blockade, 1917-1919 -- $t The peacewar, 1919-1921 -- $t Calibrating the economic weapon, 1921-1924 -- $t Genevan world police, 1924-2927 -- $t Sanctionism versus neutrality, 1926-1931 -- $t Collective security against aggression, 1931-1935 -- $t The greatest experiment in modern history, 1935-1936 -- $t Blockade-phobia, 1936-1939 -- $t The positive economic weapon, 1939-1945 -- $g Conclusion: $t From antidote to alternative. 650 0 $a Economic sanctions $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Economic sanctions $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a International economic relations $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a International economic relations $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a War $x Economic aspects. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517010551.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20220730010122.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220331010041.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D30A024CB0B711EC872AADB14EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
