The Art of Sanctions

Robert Einhorn, former senior advisor for Nonproliferation and Arms Control at the U.S. State Department, and senior fellow, Brookings Institution:
Drawing on his firsthand experience as a senior U.S. policymaker and negotiator, Nephew provides an essential user’s guide to the development and implementation of sanctions, an increasingly vital tool of U.S. statecraft. A must-read for officials and outside experts dealing with North Korea, Iran, Russia, and other pressing national security challenges.

Daniel Fried, former U.S. State Department coordinator for sanctions policy, and distinguished fellow, Atlantic Council:
Sanctions have become a hot policy tool and Richard Nephew—a key sanctions policy practitioner during the Obama administration—has written a masterful insider's how-to guide. Those dealing with or worried about North Korea, Russia, or Iran would do well to learn lessons from The Art of Sanctions.

Dennis Ross, former special assistant to President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton, and counselor, Washington Institute for Near East Policy:
As Richard Nephew points out in this highly readable book, the use of economic sanctions to affect the behavior of others internationally has been around for a long time. Precisely because he has been a practitioner in the application of sanctions, his insights and conclusions are thoughtful and should inform policy makers. Experts as well as the interested public will learn a great deal from this book.
