You will also analyse what lessons contemporaries drew from these sanctions and blockades, both at state and international levels.

Samuël Kruizinga @samuelkruizinga.bsky.social · 14d

Your PhD will focus on the interaction between the international level (and the development of thinking on the ethics and efficacy of using sanctions and blockades in the interest, however defined, of political aims) and one or more concrete case studies of interwar blockades.

Samuël Kruizinga @samuelkruizinga.bsky.social · 14d

Examples include sanctions levied against Japan following its invasion of Manchuria and against Italy following that of Ethiopia, as well as the multinational non-intervention committee set up to isolate both camps in the Spanish Civil War.

Samuël Kruizinga @samuelkruizinga.bsky.social · 14d

Following the experiences of economic warfare during the First World War, blockades and sanctions became tools wielded by the League of Nations and by others on behalf of an ‘international community’ to combat infractions of international law.

The PhD will examine the effect of blockade-induced shortages in order to establish how these shortages affected the standard of living of households. The project will focus on one major blockaded belligerent and on one blockaded neutral or occupied country in the First or the Second World War.

The postdoc will determine the Allied implementation of the blockade and its impact on the civilian population of the Middle East (esp. Ottoman Syria and Lebanon) during and after the First World War. One key task is to disaggregate the effect of blockade from other factors.
