Overview

Sanctions don't flip nations on or off-they rewire the world's services, one consent screen and cargo manifest at a time. Sanctions at Scale takes you inside the control room where lists, licenses, audits, and algorithms are tuned like dials, changing how money moves, ships sail, software updates, and courts decide. You'll see how a single designation ripples across correspondent banks, how insurers and classification societies quietly determine which cargoes live or die, and why ""good-faith reliance"" and a clean attestation can matter more than any podium speech. Following real-world mechanics from price caps and export controls to secondary sanctions and dark-fleet logistics, the book shows how enforcement is actually built-subpoenas and settlements, monitors and model thresholds-then measures impact with dials you can track yourself: price wedges, time penalties, route opacity, and a compassion score for humanitarian lanes. Along the way, casefiles on Iran, Russia, North Korea, and Venezuela reveal the compromises that make coalitions function-and the unintended de-risking that can starve clinics while criminals adapt. This is a field guide for operators and skeptics alike: compliance leaders who need playbooks, policymakers who need thermostats not slogans, journalists who want causes not vibes, and aid workers who deserve lanes that stay open. Precision, not volume, is the lesson. The point is not to look tough; it's to move the right molecules and money on purpose.
