Peter van Bergeijk brings together 40 leading experts from all continents to analyze state-of-the-art data covering the sharp increase in (smart) sanctions in the last decade. Original chapters provide detailed analyses on the determinants of sanction success and failure, complemented with innovative research on the impact of sanctions. This timely Research Handbook provides both a thorough discussion of methodology as well as evidence-based policy advice on the efficient application of boycotts, embargoes, and targeted sanctions, including trade, travel and financial sanctions. The use of case studies from Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Russia illustrate developments and demonstrate new methods, including stochastic frontier analysis, comparative quantitative analysis and meta-analysis. Providing crucial information, this Research Handbook will be an excellent resource for academic researchers in international political economy and international relations as well as policy makers within national and global institutions. It will also provide obligatory reading for students also studying within these fields.

El presente artículo examina la desigualdad en la distribución del ingreso en Argentina entre los años 2014 y 2020, bajo un contexto de estancamiento y crisis económica, que confluyó con la irrupción de la pandemia de Covid-19. Se analizaron los determinantes de la distribución del ingreso a partir de una encuesta de hogares y se implementó una descomposición del coeficiente de Gini para determinar los factores que explicaron el aumento de la desigualdad. Desde una perspectiva estructuralista, la retracción del empleo formal, la expansión del sector informal y mayor cobertura de las políticas de protección social operaron como factores centrales para explicar la mayor desigualdad en el periodo. Las transferencias sociales contribuyeron a moderar la desigualdad ante la pandemia de Covid-19.
