Could there be a way to make economic sanctions more mission oriented?

One of the main tools foreign policy leaders have to exert pressure on other governments is through the use of economic tools. Sanctions, export controls, investment restrictions, and financial measures have been used with much more frequency rather than more invasive methods. But has their recurring use made it more difficult to lose sight of their main purpose in the first place? I recently spoke to Lt. Col. Mary Hossier, Department of the Air Force senior military fellow at the Center for a New American Security, who makes the case that a more doctrinal approach, such as those used by the military, may help keep the main goals in sight.
