[Eliav Lieblich (@eliavl) is Professor of Law at Buchmann Faculty of Law, Tel Aviv University.] Demystifying Methods As discussed in Part I, methods intimidate legal scholars, and understandably so. To demystify methods, the most helpful thing, is … to go back to your research question. (anti-climactic, I know) In this context, categorizing research questions to descriptive, normative, and critical questions is a...
[Eliav Lieblich (@eliavl) is Professor of Law at Buchmann Faculty of Law, Tel Aviv University.] That girl from sociology in your grad students mixer. The smug guy in your doctoral colloquium. That close-talker near the cookies at the conference break. The just-tenured-prof in your job talk. The-grant-proposal-format-that-was-made-for-sciences-but-for-some-reason-is-the-same-for-everyone. Eventually, someone will ask you about your research methods. Confession: I dreaded this question...

[ Dr Elvira Domínguez-Redondo is an Associate Professor of International Law at Middlesex University, London (UK).] The topic of sanctions in general, and their use as an enforcement mechanism linked to human rights violations specifically, is deeply controversial. It encompasses antagonist positions that oscillate between those focusing on the paralyzing impact of an international machinery that requires inter-state cooperation to function, and those highlighting the...
[Eirik Bjorge is a Professor at the University of Bristol.] Introduction Sanctions are not an invention of the United Nations system: they predate the United Nations and have a long pedigree in the history of inter-State relations. This long pedigree is buttressed by extensive State practice which supports the unilateral right to impose such sanctions. It would therefore be incorrect to assert that only international organs such...
[Marco Fasciglione is a researcher of International Law at CNR.] Introduction According to a common belief existing among State officials and international law scholars, unilateral and extraterritorial economic sanctions would be a valuable alternative to armed conflicts. This is either because sanctions would, according to Reisman and Stevick (at 94), “reinforce public commitment to the norm that has been violated and generate a sense of civic virtue,...
[Tristan Kohl Associate is a Professor of International Economics at the University of Groningen in the Faculty of Economics and Business.] The Economics of Sanction Impositions A central question in the study of international sanctions is if, and how, sanctions alter the incentives of economic agents in the sending country to do business with agents in the sanctioned, targeted state. In this regard, the empirical...

Furthermore, more than half of EU sanctions have been imposed autonomously...
