Title ProperToward an economic strategy against Iran
LanguageENG
AuthorBerman, Ilan
Publication2008.
Summary / Abstract (Note)In the evolving American debate over strategy toward the Islamic Republic of Iran, the idea of economic warfare-the coordinated application of punitive trade/inflationary/socioeconomic pressures-has received comparatively little attention. This is somewhat surprising, given the intrinsic vulnerabilities, ranging from a heavy dependence on foreign refined petroleum to a centralized economic hierarchy, now visible within the Iranian economy. This article outlines these "points of entry," and details the economic approaches that U.S. policymakers can employ in order to convince the Iranian regime that the real costs of its nuclear program are likely to outweigh the potential benefits of atomic acquisition
