From the Paper:

"Despite its many critics, there is ample evidence that economic sanctions do work to discourage rogue states from continuing with their aggressive and frequently destructive policies. That said, economic sanctions are only effective if they have the support of the international community and are applied with a measure of practicality that is sometimes sorely lacking in the corridors of power. This paper will discuss the above matters in greater detail with the hope that the end of this paper will bring with it an appreciation for the various ways that economic sanctions can help rather than hinder a nation's foreign policy."
