Tehran, IRNA – Only once in a very long while, the stars may align for scholars of things long gone to have their works taken up and eagerly consumed by the public right after their publication. In that regard, the timing could not be more fortunate for Nicholas Mulder, assistant professor of modern European history at Cornell University, and author of ‘The Economic Weapon: The Rise of Sanctions as a Tool of Modern War’, published by Yale University Press in January 2022, which explores the genesis of economic sanctions as an alternative to war in the interwar period in the early twentieth century after the creation of the League of Nations.
