International Relations 101 (#47): Economic Sanctions Basics

What are economic sanctions and what are they intended to do? This unit covers the important issues, beginning with the basics.

With what's currently going on in the world I wanted a basic grasp of what Sanctions are. Your video was the first to show up in the search. Thanks. Now I kinda understand.

Excellent presentation! Simple and to the point.

Just in case you, or any of your viewers, are interested, I'd like to work on the idea/ concept of nations replacing the use of economic sanctions and embargoes, with economic incentives. I'm trying to find ways to test the idea. Perhaps someone knows how to create a computer game to test the idea among multiple users.

Also, I was thinking of using revenue neutral incentives as a way to off-set some the inefficiency problems

Again. Great video. Thanks.

What role does the security council play in sanctions?

[michaelijeh]

Great video! It's still relevant to today. Also, I came across your channel while learning more about economic consulting (that's the career I'm currently pursuing at the moment). Would love if you could do a video about it.

I think this was a fascinating video, and that it gets at something fundamental to humanity and perhaps life itself. Why couldn’t humans get along without any conflict at any stage in our history? I don’t think there’s any simple answer, but I think part of the reason is that “The best defense is a good offensive.” I think a lot of times it’s better to be aggressive than wait to be attacked. I suppose that sometimes there exists a first strike advantage…

great video, but could you please spell out that term which means " a world where we trade", sorry couldn't quite catch it in the video

[christopherwood]

by "state", I assume you refer to sovereign states, over the national subdivision called a "state" - e.g. the "German State" vs the "US State of New York"?

Which countries in theory have the most power to impose the most damaging sanctions on the UK or US?

[raoufismael]

With the actual US administration severe sanctions are likely to happen in near future which would concern many countries like Iran, China to mention a few.what good are sanctions if targets aren't met.

[Twistedsackboy]

Goal was to deter aggression in Ukraine and curtail Russian influence in Eastern Ukraine, you say?
That sure aged well.

So then why do not the countries which supports Venezuela's sovereignty and recognise Maduro as the President, also put sections on America, all together ??? At least maybe that wil make America see that she is not making many friends this way
