摘要：This book constitutes one of the very rare contributions to the sanctions debate coming from the developing world. Rosas, a Mexican scholar, sets herself the objective of elucidating the utility of sanctions and incentives, for the purpose of testing their applicability to Mexican foreign policy (p.53). In order to do so, she starts by locating sanctions in the wider framework of international political economy; then proceeds to put forward a classification of sanctions, and to discuss their legality. A chapter dealing with the evaluation of sanctions efficacy precedes two case studies – one case of sanctions failure, and a second of sanctions success. The final chapter addresses the largely undefined position of Mexico vis-à-vis the use of sanctions as a means of coercion in international politics
