“The Changing Role of Sanctions: History and Current Practice”

14/04/16

National governments and international organisations have come to rely increasingly heavily on economic sanctions as a tool of statecraft during the past three decades. Indeed, many current international issues, including Russia’s intervention in Ukraine, the war in Syria, and the Iranian nuclear programme, have been addressed in part through the use of economic sanctions, directed at states, non-governmental bodies, and individuals. This workshop aims to bring together scholars and practitioners working in different fields – from law, political science, economics, and history – to address the role that sanctions have played as states and international organisations develop new strategies to combat current threats and respond to political crises. Each session begins with a presentation from an invited expert, followed by an extended discussion and Q&A.
