“…1) Historical studies discuss many different sanction cases, the motive behind them, and the aims, consequences and impacts of the sanctions (Hufbauer, Schott, & Elliott, 2007;Morgan, Bapat, & Kobayashi, 2014). Some of these studies have resulted in codified and cohesive data banks of sanction cases (Hufbauer et al, 2007;Morgan et al, 2014;Peksen, 2019;Portela, 2016;Rapelanoro & Bali, 2020;Tyll, Pernica, & Arltová, 2018;UN Targeted Sanctions Qualitative Database, 2014). 2) Using the data banks mentioned above, empirical studies investigate the relationship between different parameters in sanction cases and test their assumptions about the effectiveness of the sanctions and other factors influencing the success of a sanctions regime (Hellquist, 2016;Hufbauer et al, 2007;Jeong, 2018;Jing, Kaempfer, & Lowenberg, 2003;Kaempfer & Lowenberg, 2007;Kavaklı, Chatagnier, & Hatipoğlu, 2020;Lam, 1990;Lektzian & Souva, 2001;Lohmann, 2016;Veebel & Markus, 2018b;Whang, Mclean, & Kuberski, 2013).…”
