The main idea in the passage is that —.
For centuries, when one country disapproved of another country's behaviour, political leaders sought ways to communicate their displeasure short of going to war. That is the idea behind economic sanctions. Sanctions allow countries to punish another government without having to resort to violence. At least, that was the idea. But a recent study reveals that sanctions actually make it far more likely that two states will eventually meet on the battlefield. The researchers examined more than two hundred cases of sanctions and found that, when sanctions are added to the mix, military conflict Is extremely likely to occur between two countries than if sanctions had not been imposed at all. Because countries generally prefer to enact sanctions that are not especially costly to themselves, target countries often interpret the action as a lack of resolve. This interpretation may lead the country being sanctioned to become provocative in its actions, which may in turn pave the way for a military confrontation.
