《经济制裁》内容简介
尼古拉斯·穆德(NicholasMulder)对政治、经济、法律和军事历史进行了广泛的档案研究,揭示了强制性战时工具是如何被国际联盟采用为维持和平的工具的。
经济制裁主导着当今世界政治格局。作为一种利用全球化的潮流来捍卫自由国际主义的方式,它们最初是在20世纪初发展起来的,其吸引力在于它们可以替代战争。然而,这种观点忽视了其核心的黑暗悖论:旨在防止战争的经济制裁,是以毁灭性的战争技术为基础的。
这项及时的研究揭示了为什么制裁被广泛认为是一种战争形式,以及为什么它们意想不到的后果如此巨大。

经济制裁堪称没有硝烟的核武器,一战期间曾导致近百万人死于其带来的疾病和饥饿
制裁是一场全球化和自给自足的经济博弈。轻率地使用制裁不仅无法屈人之兵,甚至可能带来反噬。

Introduction to Economic Sanctions
NicholasMulder's extensive archival study of political, economic, legal, and military history reveals how coercive wartime tools were adopted by the League of Nations as a tool for peacekeeping.
Economic sanctions dominate world politics today. Originally developed in the early 20th century as a way to harness the tide of globalization to defend liberal internationalism, their appeal was that they could be an alternative to war. However, this view ignores the dark paradox at its heart: economic sanctions designed to prevent war are underpinned by destructive warfare techniques.
This timely study sheds light on why sanctions are widely considered a form of warfare, and why their unintended consequences are so enormous.

Economic sanctions are nuclear weapons without smoke, and they caused the death of nearly a million people from disease and starvation during World War I
Sanctions are an economic game of globalization and self-sufficiency. The reckless use of sanctions will not only fail to weaken the army, but may even bring back the enemy.
