It focuses on corruption, one of the potential unintended consequences of sanctions. Using multiple regression on a custom cross-sectional time series dataset of more than a thousand observations, this research finds the correlation between threats of sanctions and level of corruption statistically significant. The model suggests each new round of threats translates into a 1.25% increase in corruption for relatively clean states and a 5% increase for already corrupt states. The resulting policy implications are examined in this thesis. 2017-07-28 English text Wright State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1496701535629229 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1496701535629229 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
