The Colloquium in International Security Studies presents

Mattie Webb, a Henry A. Kissinger Visiting Scholars Postdoctoral Fellow with the Johnson Center for the Study of American Diplomacy:

“Economic Sanctions Revisited: The Case of South Africa.”

This paper is an early exploration of Webb’s second book project, a study of economic sanctions and their impact on southern African society. Sanctions scholars commonly reference the 1986 comprehensive sanctions imposed against South Africa as a case where sanctions proved highly effective. The essay contextualizes this idea by looking closely at: 1. support for sanctions, especially comprehensive U.S. trade and financial sanctions; 2. the effects of sanctions; 3. the complexities of disinvestment in particular.
