Efficacy of Economic Sanctions

The release of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest by the military government in Myanmar (Burma) has called attention to the sanctions imposed by Western nations against the country. It has been theorized that the sanctions were one reason for Aung San Suu Kyi's release. Liane Hansen talks with David Cortright, research fellow at the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies and president of the Fourth Freedom Forum, about when sanctions have and have not been effective.
