This analysis delves into the multifaceted role of economic sanctions in foreign policy, examining their effectiveness, humanitarian impact, economic consequences, and influence on international relations. By synthesizing insights from a broad spectrum of literature, it highlights the nuanced outcomes of sanctions, the critical role of multilateral cooperation, and the importance of balancing strategic objectives with ethical considerations. The study calls for a refined approach to sanctions that maximizes policy goals while minimizing adverse effects, proposing a path forward for research and policy that navigates the complexities of modern international diplomacy.
