Perspective – A Closer Look at the U.S. Strategy on Sanctions
This report examines the efficacy and unintended consequences of the U.S.’ current strategy on sanctions. In particular, it delves into sanctions meant to respond to Russia’s increasing aggression on the global stage. It provides historical examples to argue that sanctions, when used narrowly tailored and accompanied by multilateral support and diplomatic outreach, can bring about meaningful change.
