Over the past two decades, particularly since the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, economic sanctions have been increasingly used by governments and international organizations as a means to advance international peace and security as well as the national security and foreign policy of individual nation states. Frequently characterized as the alternative between words and war – between mere diplomacy and military action – economic sanctions essentially operate as restrictions on trade, prohibiting access to all or certain parts of the economy of a country (or group of countries) by identified bad actors, which can be entire governments, ruling regimes, companies and other entities, or individuals.
