Abstract	:	In international law, policymakers have replaced military interventions with economic sanctions over recent decades. However, the imposition of sanctions has its own costs and unintended results, including humanitarian issues in sanctioned countries and economic costs for sanctioning states. This proposed study concentrates on another undesirable outcome of sanctions: it argues that economic sanctions increase the level of corruption in sanctioned countries and other countries. The first chapter begins with a conceptual background and briefly reviews economic sanctions and corruption debates in the law and other fields. The second chapter uses a case study of Iran to obtain a better understanding between the relationship of economic sanctions and corruption. This study concludes the imposition of economic sanctions affects countries with specific consequences, leading to a rise in the level of corruption in sanctioned and third countries. It further proposes that countries that have undergone economic sanctions appear to deal with the issue of corruption even after sanctions are lifted. Finally, this study raises implications that could be useful for policymakers to choose the right combination of foreign policy tools for future cases of economic sanctions.
