Critics Review
‘Finelli’s outstanding book fills a major gap in sanctions scholarship. Through unique empirical research on circumvention across the EU, US, and UK, it shows why targeted sanctions cannot rest on the assumption that the world will simply comply. This important study paves the way for a new research agenda on sanctions.’ – Francesco Giumelli, University of Groningen, the Netherlands
‘Targeted Sanctions and Circumvention, Who’s Next? is the first comprehensive comparative study of how the EU, US, and UK legal systems grapple with the central tension in modern sanctions policy: the need to counter circumvention without abandoning the principles that make targeted sanctions legitimate. Dr. Finelli’s proportionality framework should reshape how policymakers, courts, and practitioners think about the limits of the expanding crosshairs. An essential and timely contribution.’ – Erich Ferrari, Ferrari & Associates, USA
‘This supremely well-researched book offers welcome new insights into counteracting sanctions circumvention in the EU, US and UK. Finelli offers a comparative analysis of legal regimes and institutional arrangements whose depth and timeliness is second to none.’ – Anton Moiseienko, Australian National University, Australia
