Title ProperWhy sanctions against Iran are counterproductive
Other Title Informationconflict resolution and state-society relations
LanguageENG
AuthorNejad, Ali Fathollah
Publication2014.
Summary / Abstract (Note)This article critically examines the ramifications of the international sanctions regime against Iran on two fronts: the conflict pitting Iran against the West, and the impact of the sanctions on state-society relations. On both accounts, it finds the dominant narrative, according to which sanctions would facilitate conflict resolution while weakening the authoritarian state, to be misleading. Instead, it demonstrates, on the one hand, how sanctions have hardened the opposing fronts and therefore prolonged the conflict between Iran and the West, and on the other, how they have cemented the domestic power structure in the Islamic Republic and weakened Iran's civil society.
