Sanctions have long been a staple in US foreign policy, often wielded against perceived bad actors. But shockingly, there's never been a comprehensive study on the long-term impact of these sanctions. With a tool used so widely in statecraft, we have to ask ourselves, are sanctions meeting intended US objectives?

Join us for an exclusive book launch of How Sanctions Work, the first and only long term study of sanctions on Iran, the most sanctioned country in the world.

Featuring authors and Rethinking Iran Co-directors Narges Bajoghli and Vali Nasr. Discussion moderated by Ishaan Tharoor from The Washington Post.

This in-person event offers an opportunity to connect with fellow scholars passionate about the Middle East and International Affairs. Join us as we go behind the pages to explore the complex world of sanctions and their impact on global affairs.

Books will be available for purchase at this event and Narges and Vali will be signing books at the end.
