Anton D. Lowenberg of California State University, Northridge reviews “Busted Sanctions: Explaining Why Economic Sanctions Fail”, by Bryan R. Early. The Econlit abstract of this book begins: “Examines how third-party states can contribute to the failure of U.S. sanction policies and explores how U.S. policymakers can become more effective at addressing the challenges posed by sanctions busting. Discusses why busted sanctions lead to broken sanction policies; what sanction busters are; assessing the consequences of sanctions busting; why third parties sanctions-bust via trade and aid; sanctions busting for profits—how the United Arab Emirates busted the United States' sanctions against Iran; assessing which third-party states become trade-based sanctions busters; sanctions busting for politics—analyzing Cuba's aid-based sanctions busters; and implications. Early is Assistant Professor in the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy at the University at Albany, State University of New York.”

Laura Olson is one of a small but energetic and influential group of Christian political scientists determined to bring the debate politically legitimate called it either racist or sexist. Yet, somewhat surprisingly, African American pastors held the most consistently conservative views on family values, although they also saw the connections among crime, violence, and the deterioration of the family. Within the authorÕs intentionally limited scope, this is an excellent study, but one should be cautious about generalizing.
