NIOD Rewind Episode 51 - What Is a Blockade? From WWI to 'Operation Starvation', Gaza and Hormuz

From Gaza to the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz, blockades affect global supply chains, energy prices, food security and the lives of millions of people. But what exactly is a blockade?

Anne van Mourik discusses these questions and more with Sheldon Garon (Princeton University), Elisabeth Piller (University of Freiburg), and Samuël Kruizinga (University of Amsterdam).
