This study analyzes the effectiveness of international institution participation in sanction regimes. International organizations and economic sanctions have both suffered a lack of credibility, yet both are still utilized in foreign affairs policy. Currently, sanctions are threatened and implemented in three main ways: unilaterally, multilaterally with the support of international organizations, or multilaterally through ad hoc coalitions. Using new data, this paper supports previous analysis that the participation of international organizations increases the likelihood of sanction success and illustrates that regional organizations are more likely to be involved in successful sanction regimes than global organizations. Since regional organizations are more likely to be effective, states should look to these organizations to maximize the success rate of potential sanction policies. |
