Economic Statecraft

In her thought-provoking book, Economic Statecraft, Cécile Fabre delves into the complex world of economic sanctions as a vital alternative to warfare and a means to promote human rights. Published by Harvard University Press in 2018, this hardback edition spans 224 pages and challenges the conventional discourse surrounding the ethics of statecraft. While the ethics of war have been extensively examined by philosophers, the moral implications of economic measures remain underexplored. Fabre provides a compelling defense of economic statecraft, offering a normative framework that seeks to justify its use in diplomacy. This insightful work is essential reading for anyone interested in international relations, ethics, and the intricate balance between power and morality. Discover how economic tools can reshape global dynamics and contribute to a more just world.
