A Peaceful, Silent, Deadly Remedy: The Ethics of Economic Sanctions [Abstract] 12/04/99
Economic sanctions are emerging as one of the major tools of international governance in the post-Cold War era. Gordon considers the issue of sanctions within three ethical frameworks: just war doctrine, deontological ethics, and utilitarianism.
Author(s): Joy Gordon

More Ethical than Not: Sanctions as Surgical Tools: Response to "A Peaceful, Silent, Deadly Remedy" [Abstract] 12/04/99
Joy Gordon has made a major contribution to both the ethical analysis and the policy evaluation of economic sanctions. Her claims against sanctions should be understood as critique rather than condemnation of sanctions on ethical grounds.
Author(s): George A. Lopez
