  • US Economic Sanctions Against Sandinista Nicaragua
    ThirdWorld Quarterly, Vol. 17, No. 2, pp. 329± 348 1996 Makingthe economy scream: US economicsanctions against Sandinista Nicaragua WILLIAMM LEOGRANDE From1981 to 1990,the USA engaged in a concertedand multifaceted campaign tooverthrow the government of NicaraguaÐ a policythat was highlycontro- versialdomestically and culminated in the Iran± contra scandal. In the history of USattemptsto destabilise other governments, the effort against Nicaragua stands outas oneof the most intensive and long-lasting. The covert paramilitary dimensionof Washington’ s policyis wellknown and quite comprehensively documented,in partbecause of theinvestigations resulting from the Iran± contra affair.1 Theeconomic dimension of the policy has receivedless attention,even thoughit was arguablymore effective. The `contra’ war failed to achieve its aim ofoverthrowing the Sandinista government by military means, whereas econ- omicsanctions, combined with the costs ofthewar, succeeded in devastatingthe economy.Amid widespread privation, the Sandinistas’ popular support fell severely,and they were soundly defeated in the 1990 elections. 2 Theweight of scholarly opinion holds that economic sanctions are notan effectiveforeign policy instrument. 3 Evenamong scholars who have recently triedto rehabilitatesanctions, most agree that they can only be successful under alimitedset ofcircumstances. Hufbauer, Schott and Elliot, for example, offer a listof nine conditions that determine whether or not sanctions will bring about thedesired policy change by the target country.

  • Views of the Sanctity of International 5 Sovereignty Or the Right of States to Act Unilaterally, Become Known As the Assertive Multilateralists
    WARS WITHOUT RISK: U.S.HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTIONS OF THE 1990S R Laurent Cousineau A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Dr. Gary Hess, Advisor Dr. Neal Jesse Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Robert Buffington Dr. Stephen Ortiz ii ABSTRACT Dr. Gary Hess, Advisor Wars Without Risk is an analysis of U.S. foreign policy under George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton involving forced humanitarian military operations in Somalia and Haiti in the 1990s. The dissertation examines American post-Cold war foreign policy and the abrupt shift to involve U.S. armed forces in United Nations peacekeeping and peace enforcement operations to conduct limited humanitarian and nation-building projects. The focus of the study is on policy formulation and execution in two case studies of Somalia and Haiti. Wars Without Risk examines the fundamental flaws in the attempt to embrace assertive multilateralism (a neo-Wilsonian Progressive attempt to create world peace and stability through international force, collective security, international aid, and democratization) and to overextend the traditional democratization mandates of American foreign policy which inevitably led to failure, fraud, and waste. U.S. military might was haphazardly injected in ill-defined UN operations to save nations from themselves and to spread or “save” democracy in nations that were not strongly rooted in Western enlightenment foundations. Missions in Somalia and Haiti were launched as “feel good” humanitarian operations designed as attempts to rescue “failed states” but these emotionally- based operations had no chance of success in realistic terms because the root causes of poverty and conflict in targeted nations were too great to address through half-hearted international paternalism.

  • How Congress Shaped the Carter Administration's Human Rights Policy
    Abstract WHITE JR., JAMES DOUGLAS. Negotiating Authority: How Congress Shaped the Carter Administration’s Human Rights Policy toward Uruguay in 1977. (Under direction of Dr. Nancy Mitchell). Before Jimmy Carter became president, the US Congress had begun leveraging foreign aid to pressure governments to improve their human rights records. In 1976, it passed the Koch Amendment cutting all military assistance to the authoritarian junta in Uruguay. Although human rights advocates in Congress welcomed Carter’s emphasis on human rights during the campaign, they were skeptical that he would translate rhetoric into action. Thus for the Carter administration’s human rights policy to be effective, it needed to be visible to Congress. However, officials in the State Department worried that if they scolded foreign governments too vehemently, the administration would be criticized as interventionist. How did the Carter administration craft an effective human rights policy negotiated between Congress’s desire for an active human rights policy and State’s desire to minimize the appearance of interventionism? By studying US human rights policy toward Uruguay and the role of the Organization of American States (OAS) in that policy in 1977, this thesis shows that the Carter administration tried to square this circle by using multilateral and personal diplomacy to encourage the Uruguayan junta to be more transparent about its human rights record. In the OAS, the Carter administration strengthened the Inter-American Human Rights Commission (IAHRC), which published reports on countries’ human rights abuses and was working on a report on Uruguay. In its bilateral relationship with Uruguay, high-ranking US diplomats, military officers, and members of Congress informed the junta that the US government was united in its concern for human rights.
