Sanctions have been at the centre of some the most significant geopolitical developments of the last two years. But when can we expect sanctions to be effective – and does the use of economic sanctions against a large economy like Russia's risk fragmenting the global financial system? Should sanctions imposed in a particular context, such as the war in Crimea, be used as a bargaining tool for negotiations related to another conflict like Syria? Prof Daniel Drezner considered the evolution of targeted sanctions, and what it means for American foreign policy and the global political economy.
