However, sanctions come with unexpected, global side-effects that are rarely discussed. All of these side-effects have a meaningful impact on businesses, financial markets and governments. First, US sanctions are pushing countries that are at odds with the US, such as Turkey, Russia and Iran, closer to each other, with massive consequences on traditional alliances, such as NATO. Second, Russia and China directly benefit from US sanctions, as targeted countries are turning to Moscow and Beijing for strategic deals. Third, US sanctions can have unforeseen ripple effects on America's allies, which often fuels resentment against the US. In this book, sanctions expert Agathe Demarais presents a fresh take on U.S. sanctions from the outside, exploring how international relations, energy markets, and the global economy writ large is shaken in unforeseen ways when the U.S. decides to use sanctions as a political weapon"--

Sanctions : what everyone needs to know / by Jentleson, Bruce W.,1951-author.(CARDINAL)278640;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 209-254) and index.Introduction: Puzzles Posed for International Relations Theory and Foreign Policy Strategy -- Economic Sanctions: What, Who, Why, and How -- Do Sanctions Work?: Measuring Success -- Explaining Sanctions Success/Failure -- Historical Perspective: Lessons from Past Sanctions Cases -- United States: Foreign Policy Strategy and Domestic Politics -- China's Use of Sanctions -- Soviet Union/Russia: Energy Pipelines and Other Sanctions -- United Nations and European Union: Multilateral and Regional Sanctions -- Conclusion: Sanctions Theory, Sanctions Policy."Even before the extensive sanctions imposed on Russia for its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, it was hard to browse the news without seeing reports of yet another set of sanctions. The United States has sanctions against over 30 countries as well as drug traffickers, terrorist organizations and specially designated individuals. China long has been a target of sanctions and in recent years increasingly a wielder against countries and companies even organizations like the National Basketball Association (NBA). Russia also has been sanctions sender as well as target. The European Union has joined some of the American sanctions as well as imposing its own. In some cases the United Nations has authorized fully multilateral sanctions. While being used more frequently in recent years sanctions go back decades, indeed centuries, to such cases as the 432 BC Athens against Sparta and Napoleon's 1808-1814 Continental System. Given such frequency of use, you'd think sanctions were a sure-fire weapon. Yet the record is quite mixed. So some initial puzzles: Why are economic sanctions used so much? What are the key factors affecting their success? These and related questions are well suited for an Oxford University Press What Everyone Needs to Know book. They long have beenimportant among international relations scholars, spanning international security and international political economy subfields. And with sanctions such a recurring foreign policy strategy, they are crucial for policy makers. As someone who has both studied sanctions as a scholar and worked on these issues while serving in key U.S. foreign policy positions, Bruce W. Jentleson is well suited to provide analysis valuable for students, scholars and practitioners"--

Punishing Putin : inside the global economic war to bring down Russia / by Baker, Stephanie,1967-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 289-335) and index.Part I the economic war begins -- Prologue we are coming for your superyacht -- Attacking fortress Russia -- Hunting Russian kleptocrats -- Part II from oligarchs to the rise of Putin -- Democracy derailed -- Putin's calculus -- Oligarchs in America -- Part III loopholes, divestments, and their discontents -- Microchip monte -- Corporate hostages -- How to sell a soccer club -- Part IV follow the money and the oil . . . If you can -- Cyprus: the Trojan horse -- A glittering Moscow-on-the-gulf -- Capping Putin's war premium -- Part V waiting for the end game -- Freezing Londongrad -- Will Russia pay? -- Epilogue end game."Undeterred by eight years of timid US sanctions, Vladimir Putin ordered his full-scale assault on Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In the hours that followed across the world, Western leaders weaponized economic tools to counter an unprecedented land grab by a nuclear-armed power. What followed was an undeniably world-changing financial experiment that risked throwing the world into a devastating recession. The end goal was simple: to sap the strength of Putin's war machine and damage the Russian economy-once the eleventh largest on the planet. Here, Russian expert and veteran journalist Stephanie Baker explains in fascinating detail how this furious shadow-war unfolded: its causes, how it is being executed, and its ability to affect Russia and the course of history. From seizing superyachts to manipulating the global price of oil to trying to block the sale of military technology to Russia, we learn how the White House coordinated with top officials in London and Brussels to freeze a staggering $300 billion in foreign currency reserves accumulated in the West by Russia's central bank. Mobilizing an army of white collar-crime investigators and experts on international law, Baker explores how the West has cracked down on illicit Russian money by targeting oligarchs, one superyacht at a time, and their enablers around the world. Filled with propulsive, fly-on-the-wall details, Punishing Putin takes us into the frantic backroom deliberations that led to a whole new era of carefully calculated "economic statecraft" and shows how these new strategies are already radically rearranging global alliances that will influence the world order today, and for generations to come"--

War by other means : geoeconomics and statecraft / by Blackwill, Robert D.,author.(CARDINAL)769144; Harris, Jennifer M.,1981-author.(CARDINAL)691369;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 259-350) and index.What is geoeconomics? -- Geoeconomics and the international system -- Today's leading geoeconomic instruments -- Geoeconomics in Chinese foreign policy -- Geoeconomic strength in Beijing and beyond -- U.S. foreign policy and geoeconomics in historical context -- America's geoeconomic potential -- The geoeconomics of North America's energy revolution -- American foreign policy in an age of economic power -- Geoeconomics, U.S. grand strategy, and American national interests."A book about how nations use economic instruments to pursue geopolitical objectives. From Russia's coercive economic pressure on Ukraine, in Europe, and in Central Asia; to the steady sums of money that Gulf monarchies have extended to the Egyptian government following the ouster of President Morsi; to the varied economic retributions that China has dealt along its periphery amid tensions in the South and East China Seas--states are increasingly waging geopolitics with capital, attempting with sovereign checkbooks and other economic tools to achieve foreign policy objectives once the target of military coercion or conquest. For many countries, the theater of foreign policy engagement is predominantly markets. Today's leaders are as or more likely to air disagreements with foreign policies through restrictions on trade, or the buying and selling of debt, as through military activities. Not the United States. For Washington policymakers, vital national interests are still defined and pursued largely in political-military terms, a framework that sacrifices the power and potential of economics and finance as instruments of state purpose. This book aims to advance a comprehensive understanding of how states are applying economic instruments to advance geopolitical ends--a brand of statecraft the authors term geoeconomics--and what today's geoeconomic practices imply for how the United States in particular should think about and conduct its foreign affairs."--Provided by publisher.
