Content
Governments, international organizations and nations are increasingly considering to use sanctions as a foreign policy tool for achieving their goals today. Sanctions will lose their efficiency, in other words changing behavior of the target, if they're used without a clear strategy. Richard Nephew offers a series of act that can improve the sanctions efficiency, such as a practical framework for planning and applying the sanctions.[7] Nephew's work looks more important than other perior books which written about this subject. He has not described some theoreticals or academic viewpoint in his book, instead he shares his knowledges and experiences which he has earned because of his special position in designing Iranian's sanctions.[5][6][2]
The author introduced the sanction as a strategic tool, not technical, in the U.S. foreign policy department and also explained the sanctions as an art that its efficacy depend to decision maker's creativity and their manipulation of using the economic, social and political tools as the sanction's tools.

For example, the rise in chicken prices in Iran, a subject that has not sanctioned, increased the pressure of sanctions among Iranian, or exporting some goods to Iran evacuated the Iran's foreign currency reserves.[5][6][2]
