The Rise of Fragmentation. A New Economic Security Era? The Role of Sanctions in Global Politics: How Do Sanctions (Not) Work?

Research output: Book/ReportReportpeer-review

Abstract

In 2015, the UN “Sustainable Development Goals – 2030” were set up as an
‘urgent call’ to action for all countries to cooperate in promoting the following
policy objectives: to eradicate global poverty, to end world hunger, to combat
global inequality by protecting human rights and achieving gender equality,
and most importantly – to secure peace and justice and environmental
sustainability.1 However, during the following decade world leaders seem to
have distanced themselves from achieving these goals: the ‘globalised’ and
interconnected neoliberal world has become increasingly fragmented,
anarchic, and insecure. Economic warfare and sanctions, accelerated in the
2010s, served as catalysts of multiple processes, such as the militarisation and
security block politics that this article is going to address.
