As Euro-American foreign policy relies increasingly on economic sanctions, Everyday Encounters with Economic Sanctions gathers scholarship from around the world to bring insights and critical analyses to the study of sanctions as foreign policy and their impacts on targeted countries. As sanctions affect more societies globally and for protracted periods, this volume argues for the humanistic study of sanctions that understands them as political and economic regimes of power that affect not only governments and institutions, but ordinary people in myriad ways. The volume aims to broaden and deepen scholarly knowledge of sanctions by gathering empirical, research-focused essays from international scholars working in sanctioned countries. In doing so it seeks to define the contours of a humanistic study of sanctions, with contributors bringing expertise in sanctions, international law, international relations, foreign policy, diplomacy, neoliberalism, and globalization to bear on how individuals in sanctioned societies experience them.
