Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Unprecedented geopolitical challenges and international crises have unsettled world politics over the past few years. The responses to these crises have come in the form of sanctions. In the European Union, too, sanctions have developed into important tools in the external relations toolbox. The most visible of these sanctions are economic restrictions to trade and investment aimed at countries like Russia or North Korea. Yet, the European Union, just like any other actor, has a wide range of types of sanctions at its disposal: including diplomatic sanctions, economic restrictions, or travel bans. Why and how does the European Union choose among this range of sanctions? How does this differ between ‘targets’ of sanctions? And, what is the effectiveness of the European Union’s sanctions?

Learning outcomes:
• Distinguish types of sanctions the EU has at its disposal
• Understand and evaluate drivers of EU sanctions
• Identify and understand decision-making procedures for different sanctions
