The Effectiveness of Sanctions Revisited: an Empirical Analysis Using a Bargaining and Enforcement Framework THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SANCTIONS REVISITED: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS USING A BARGAINING AND ENFORCEMENT FRAMEWORK Bo Ram Kwon A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science. Chapel Hill, NC 2013 Approved by: Navin A. Bapat Mark J. C. Crescenzi Layna Mosley Tom Carsey Lars Schoultz 2013 Bo Ram Kwon ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BO RAM KWON: The Effectiveness of Economic Sanctions Revisited: An Empirical Analysis Using a Bargaining and Enforcement Framework (Under the direction of Navin A. Bapat) While extant research on economic sanctions have identified various state-level variables that affect the effectiveness of economic sanctions, this study examines sanctions success by incorporating the role of the firm. I argue that imposing sanctions creates an enforcement dilemma for sanctioning states or senders. Namely, unlike the decision to impose sanctions, senders often have disincentives to enforce their sanctions policies on their firms, given that the restriction on economic transactions with targeted states may undermine their competitiveness. Following a strategic bargaining framework that consists of a sender, its firm and a target state, I propose that sanctions are more likely to succeed when the sender's firm retains a moderate share of the target's market relative to its foreign competitors. Also, I argue that due to strategic interaction, sanctions are more likely to be imposed when the conditions do not favor their success. The detailed case illustration and large-N quantitative analysis support these predictions and suggest that sanctions enforcement is indeed critical in determining sanctions success. iii Dedicated to my parents and my husband, for their unwaning support. iv Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the support and guidance of several important people. I would like to thank Mark Crescenzi, Layna Mosley, Tom Carsey and Lars Schoultz for their thoughtful comments. I would especially like to thank my advisor, Navin Bapat, who first introduced me to the topic of economic sanctions and has offered constructive criticism and much patience in completing this project. I am also greatly indebted to my dear parents, Dr. Young Bong Kwon and Kye Sook Lee, for encouraging me to walk down this academic path. I extend special thanks to my husband, Jae Hyuk Chung, for being such a strong and understanding partner. Lastly, I am grateful to my beautiful son, Ian Minseok Chung, who was born one week before the dissertation defense and has made the last part of this journey infinitely more enjoyable. v Table of Contents List of Figures ...................................................................................................................................... vii List of Tables ....................................................................................................................................... viii Chapter 1.

    International Journal of Engineering and Technology, Vol. 9, No. 5, October 2017 An Optimization Model for Port Service Network of Refrigerated Containers Based on Transportation Time Reliability Xiangqun Song, Qianli Ma, Wenyuan Wang, and Shibo Li Abstract—In order to develop the transshipment and temperature, when the temperature get control, time processing capacity of port nodes in the container port service reliability can be decisive to evaluate the efficiency of cold network and meet the increasing demand for cold chain chain logistics. Domestic and foreign researchers have logistics transportation, container flow quantity should be conducted a lot of research in the past which can be reasonably distributed in port nodes which undertake primarily divided into two aspects. The first aspect is the functions of transportation and transfer in the cold chain. evaluation and calculation method of time reliability. For Through the study of refrigerated container service network, this paper establishes an optimization model for port service example, Chang J. S. [7] defined time reliability as the network of refrigerated container with minimizing the total difference between actual arrival time and schedule time, cost as the objective, transportation time reliability and storage Liang C. Y. [8] established the time reliability calculation capacity of the refrigerated container in port nodes as model from two aspects of the running time and the waiting constraints to achieve the optimal container flow allocation in time, and Namazi-Rad M. R. [9] introduced time window to transshipment ports under different supply and demand evaluate the reliability, Jong G. D. [10] took the method of quantity. preference survey to assess the transportation time reliability.

    COMMERCIAL SPACE INSURANCE VOLUME II: Chapter 8/Summary he space insurance aspect of the Intelsat 708 launch failure focuses on the exchange of controlled technical information within the insurance community. Insurance underwriters and reinsurers for the Apstar 1A satellite program — the next scheduled T satellite to be launched on the Long March 3B after the Intelsat 708 failure — were concerned about the reliability of the Long March rocket, and the fate of future launch insurance programs in the PRC. Immediately after the Intelsat 708 launch failure, space insurance under- writers for the Apstar 1A insurance program pressured the PRC to create an international and Independent Review Committee (IRC). These underwriters and reinsurers insisted on this arrangement to ensure that an adequate assessment of the risks of future Long March rocket launches was made. Representatives from J & H Marsh & McLennan, an international space insurance brokerage firm, were adamant about obtaining a report from the Independent Review Committee for the benefit of the reinsurers of the Apstar 1A satellite insurance program. Members of the space insurance community were invit- ed to attend a meeting on April 15 and 16, 1996, in the PRC. The purpose of the meet- ing was to build confidence in the Long March rocket, and to discuss the status of the Apstar 1A insurance program. The space insurance acquisition and underwriting process includes the dis- semination of technical information, the consideration of market conditions, capac- ity, and participants, and the involvement of insurance brokers, underwriters, and rein- surers. This chapter identifies several issues relating to procedures for the disclosure and handling of sensitive information by the insurance community.

This was the third launch failure in 38 months involving the PRC’s Long O March series of rockets carrying U.S.-built satellite payloads. It also was the first commercial launch using the new Long March 3B. These events attracted intense attention from the international space launch insurance industry, and eventually led to a review of the PRC launch failure investigation by Western aero- space engineers. The activities of the Western aerospace engineers who participated on the review team — the Independent Review Committee — sparked allegations of violations of U.S. export control regulations. The review team was accused of per- forming an unlicensed defense service for the PRC that resulted in the improvement of the reliability of the PRC’s military rockets and ballistic missiles. The Intelsat 708 satellite was manufactured by Space Systems/Loral (Loral) under contract to Intelsat, the world’s largest commercial satellite com- munications services provider. Loral is wholly owned by Loral Space & Communications, Ltd. China Great Wall Industry Corporation, the PRC state-controlled missile, rocket, and launch provider, began an investigation into the launch failure. On February 27, 1996, China Great Wall Industry Corporation reported its determination that the Long March 3B launch failure was caused by a broken wire in the inner frame of the inertial measurement unit within the guidance system of the rocket.
