Political Marketplace Framework: Sanctions in the Political Market
This memo examines how targeted sanctions can operate in a political marketplace system
Abstract
This memo examines how targeted sanctions can operate in a political marketplace system. It argues that we should analyse the sanctions toolkit in the context of the transactional politics of elites in sanctioned countries, and specifically the logic of the political marketplace, which emerges as a powerful metric for understanding what sanctions actually do. On this basis, we can assess what are the likely impacts of sanctions (or their removal).
