This paper discusses some of the arguments in the debate on economic sanctions against South Africa and why this debate at times is confused. Taking its point of departure in recent literature on sanctions, it elaborates some of the main issues: The example of Rhodesia, sanctions and the structural weaknesses of the South African economy, repercussions on the front line states, and effects of  "disinvestment" by the transnational companies.
