Book Review Symposium II: Legal but Illegitimate? Lessons for ECOWAS Law and Praxis in Joy Gordon, ed., Economic Sanctions from Havana to Baghdad
Joy Gordon’s twenty-one chapter edited volume is a massive contribution to the study of the character, legality, legitimacy, effectiveness, and impacts of economic sanctions in our time (Gordon, 2026). It is a major tome – certainly voluminous, seamlessly multidisciplinary, and quite encompassing. It is an excellent work of scholarship: thoroughly researched, written and edited; highly analytical; and very illuminating.
