內容簡介

內容簡介 經濟武器: 金融制裁與貿易戰的誕生新興現代戰爭工具：制裁當經濟成為國際間的武器比戰爭更可怕的力量，早已深入國際經貿體系！經濟制裁是阻止戰爭的工具，還是引發戰爭的武器？經濟戰制裁的是政府，還是無辜的人民？銀彈真的比子彈更有效嗎？已經告訴我們答案！5種語言、6國面對檔案，打造經濟修正的起源故事全球化已死的歷史大變局，經貿立國者不可不知的重要課題伯納斯獎章得主、最耀眼的新時代歷史分析師，寫給世界的警醒之書自“經濟制裁」誕生後，戰爭與和平的分野就永遠改變了。如今，21世紀最重要的戰爭形態，就是無所不在的經濟戰。無論是世界對俄羅斯、北韓與伊朗實施的貿易外匯，或是美中偶像在半導體產業鏈上的貿易戰中的強權，或者中國對台灣農產品的製裁，都是把防守外匯交易的武器，試圖用經濟手段來改變對方的行為。是，經濟制裁真的有效嗎？經濟制裁真的像許多人相信的一樣，能夠避免戰爭、解決衝突或懲罰侵略者為何？如果效果不如預期，今天的政治決策者再次對經濟制裁樂此不疲？康乃爾大學的新銳歷史學家穆德認為，要回答這些問題，就必須結合歷史中尋找答案。他會在《經濟武器》裡的經濟學家演講中從頭，將時光倒回上個世紀的1920-40年代。高精度的政治經濟學、法律框架與歷史研究，本書講解道來人類發明經濟制裁的緣由，分析經濟修正的正正義效果，解釋經濟修正如何成為世界各地常見的邏輯手段，以及對現代世界的經濟修正秩序造成的必然影響。本書介出自衛城出版《經濟武器: 金融制裁與貿易戰的誕生》The first international history of the emergence of economic sanctions during the interwar period and the legacy of this development "Valuable . . . offers many lessons for Western policy makers today."--Paul Kennedy, Wall Street Journal "The lessons are sobering."--The Economist "Original and persuasive. . . . For those who see economic sanctions as a relatively mild way of expressing displeasure at a country's behavior, this book . . . will come as something of a revelation."--Lawrence D. Freedman, Foreign Affairs Economic sanctions dominate the landscape of world politics today. First developed in the early twentieth century as a way of exploiting the flows of globalization to defend liberal internationalism, their appeal is that they function as an alternative to war. This view, however, ignores the dark paradox at their core: designed to prevent war, economic sanctions are modeled on devastating techniques of warfare. Tracing the use of economic sanctions from the blockades of World War I to the policing of colonial empires and the interwar confrontation with fascism, Nicholas Mulder uses extensive archival research in a political, economic, legal, and military history that reveals how a coercive wartime tool was adopted as an instrument of peacekeeping by the League of Nations. This timely study casts an overdue light on why sanctions are widely considered a form of war, and why their unintended consequences are so tremendous.
