Sanctions on Iran: Can They Work?

Open to the Public

The ever increasing scope of sanctions on Iran is based on the assumption that "pressure" can result in a resolution to the nuclear crisis. There are, however, many types of sanction and each can act in different ways. This presentation will use a framework to set success criteria and evaluate whether sanctions can work.

Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
