Subject
Sanctions outlook.
Significance
Economic and financial sanctions are becoming strategic tools for a wide range of international actors. Sanctions can be effective in achieving strategic objectives, but they are not ‘low cost’ foreign policy tools.
Impacts
Private sector de-risking can push sanctioned economies further towards opaque financial structures.
Sanctions will be a divisive issue for transatlantic ties.
Sanctions imposed without a clear objective carry the most risk of backfiring.
