    "title": "Can Economic Sanctions Work in Myanmar?",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Armed conflict in Myanmar has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions. Yet, prevailing wisdom would hold that, short of armed intervention, there is little the international community can do to restore peace. This Article argues that, though typically ineffective, economic sanctions can actually succeed in bringing about regime change in Myanmar.\nAfter exploring the logic, legality, and effectiveness of economic sanctions, this Article provides the first comprehensive look into sanctions against Myanmar. It analyzes the many holes in existing sanctions regimes and how Myanmar’s ruling military junta has been able to evade them. After considering Myanmar’s unique circumstances, it makes several proposals that would dramatically improve the effectiveness of economic sanctions.",
