In recent decades, sanctions have become the preferred tool for the nonviolent coercion of other nations. The U.S. government employs sanctions and embargoes to pressure not only enemies but sometimes even its friends. Despite their ubiquity, the debate over their efficacy continues. Measuring their success is controversial since many sanctions are economic, while the desired outcomes are political. Under what circumstances can sanctions or embargoes deliver their intended policy objectives at an acceptable cost? How can they best be integrated with other available instruments of national power? The Strategy of Sanctions uses case studies from antiquity to the present to evaluate the strategic utility of sanctions and embargoes. The authors utilize a blended approach combining earlier definitions of sanctions, concepts from teaching of strategy, as well as terms of their own creation. They apply a common framework for teaching strategy, which disaggregates operational-level from strategic-level goals, and goals from strategies. By examining sanctions in different eras and contexts, the book highlights the circumstances that are most conducive to their efficacy.Disclaimer -- List of Figures -- List of Tables -- Introduction / S.C.M.

As the first comprehensive account of the European football fandom in China, this book explores how the Chinese middle-class is formed through the cross-cultural, digital consumption of the Big-Five leagues. Yuan Gong captures the embodied experiences of fans and fan clubs, fan discourses and activities unfolding on digital platforms on Weibo, Weixin, and Hupu, combining fieldwork in Shanghai and virtual ethnography. Delving into participants' various forms of fan engagement as readers, activists, producers, consumers, and digital citizens, Gong argues that Chinese fans' decisions to follow and engage with European football result from their material conditions, ideological contestation, and technology appropriation as a new demographic bloc arising during China's transition to authoritarian digital capitalism. By engaging with their home team away, the Chinese middle-class perform as citizens with a global vision despite the resurgence of the nationalist and anti-Western sentiments.This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial 4.0 International Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0Description based on information from the publisher.Soccer fansChina.SoccerSocial aspectsChina.SoccerAnthropological aspectsChina.Electronic books.Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan),publisher.China understandings today.https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.128666180No-worldcatRecordExternalImportMPubCataloging 02911nam a2200457 i 450010.3998/mpub.14431160MiU20260202124228.0m o d cr#unu||||||||260202t20262026miua ob 001 0 eng d9780472058204paperback book9780472078202hardcover book9780472906000open access ebook0472906003open access ebook10.3998/mpub.14431160doiEYMengrdapnEYMs-ag---PN1995.25Werth, Brenda G.,authorhttps://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjCWhBFgfPGjtHKbDdVBfqhttps://orcid.org/0000-0003-1415-4580Fictions of the real :synergies between screen and stage in Argentine performance /Brenda Werth.Synergies between screen and stage in Argentine performanceAnn Arbor :University of Michigan Press,2026.©20261 online resource (1 volume :illustrations)texttxtrdacontentcomputercrdamediaonline resourcecrrdacarrierIncludes bibliographical references (pages 223-248) and index.Open accessBrenda Werth's Fictions of the Real traces the transformation of "the real" and its transnational conceptualization by Argentine artists in the twenty-first century, focusing on artists who engage in both documentary theater and filmmaking. Werth places the work of Lola Arias, Romina Paula, Federico León, Mariano Pensotti, and Grupo Krapp in dialogue with the distinct but intertwined lineages of theater and film exploring the intermedial dimensions of these artists' theatrical work, resonances in their documentary films, and the transmedial relationships between their documentary plays and films. Focusing on the dynamic and shifting context of Argentina between 1998 and 2023, a period roughly bookmarked by the economic crisis of 2001 and the COVID-19 pandemic, this book explores how these artists disrupt the relations of power and counter political manipulation with their own evocative fictions of the real as they engage in the roles of translators, curators, researchers, archivists, and collaborators.This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial 4.0 International Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0Description based on information from the publisher.Motion pictures and theaterArgentina21st century.IntermedialityArgentina21st century.Electronic books.Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan),publisher.https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.144311600No-worldcatRecordExternalImportMPubCataloging
