This paper discusses US secondary sanctions that are imposed on companies and private persons outside the US who trade with Cuba, Iran or Libya and their effect on the world trade regime. It argues that by imposing these kinds of secondary sanctions, the US aims to enforce its laws and policies outside, as well as inside, its own territory. According to the author this is evidence for an increasingly unilateral approach to foreign policy by the US and that domestic actors are attempting to influence the government on this issue.
