The art of the Trump‐Iran deal: An unsuccessful coercive foreign policy
The success of a state's coercive foreign policy depends on how much influence it has over a ‘target’ – a premise that assumes other factors do not obstruct the policy goal. In practice however, the nature of the international system complicates the potential for such a policy's success. This paper examines this idea using the 2018 US decision that aimed to dismantle the JCPOA by pulling out of the agreement and re‐sanctioning Iran. To do so, thi…
Libya and the Prisoner’s Dilemma
This paper explores the prisoner’s dilemma in the context of interactions between Libya’s Tripoli- and Tobruk-led actors in the period between Gaddafi’s 2011 ousting and the 2015 Libyan Political Agreement. In so doing, it reveals the extent to which Libyan decisions aligned with the game’s principal outcome-maximizing strategy to ascertain authority and a non-outcome-maximizing strategy’s conflict resolution-through-cooperation goal. In contrast…
Economic Interdependence and Stability: The Failure of US Policy in Egypt
This paper argues, with a focus on the final 10 years of the Mubarak regime, that the US policy of using economic interdependence to influence stability in Egypt failed. By assessing the formation of this US policy and the factors concerning US‒Egyptian ties, this paper also provides a better understanding of US policy towards Egypt in general. The argument is entrenched in the stability through economic interdependence literature and identifies …

The JCPOA: How Iran's grand strategy stifled the US
The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) provided a poignant example of how Iran successfully pursued a unique grand strategy that was established following, and had evolved since, the 1979 Revolution. As a result, Tehran was able to stifle attempts by Washington, DC to influence domestic Iranian affairs. In this context, this article argues that Iran's grand strategy juggled a commitment to the regime's revolutionary mantra, formed in…
The US–Iran relationship: The impact of political identity on foreign policy
The deliberations over and the signing of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which sought to rein in the Iranian nuclear programme in exchange for alleviating sanctions placed on Tehran, provide a poignant example of the eclectic relationship between Iran and the United States. Indeed, US–Iranian ties have witnessed amicable periods, particularly before the 1979 Iranian Revolution, as well as disagreements after this. Penelope K…
Trade and peace: The EU and Gaddafi's final decade
This article examines the effectiveness of the EU's use of trade to induce peace in Libya during Gaddafi's final ten years in power, between 2001 and 2011. During this period, the EU implored and reiterated through rhetoric, policy and the exchange of goods and services that trade was to be used as a tool to maintain peace and prevent conflict. Indeed, this peace-through-trade assumption is at the heart of the EU, which was founded on the notion …
The Political Economy of U.S.–Iranian Relations (2005–2014)
From 2005 up until the end of the Joint Plan of Action’s first phase in July 2014, the United States sought to exploit Iran’s economically interdependent foreign ties in order to eradicate the perceived Iranian nuclear threat. This article analyzes the developments that took place in this time frame to assess and establish the effectiveness of this economic policy to achieve its security aim. By positing the argument in the context of the economi…
