A new age of economic statecraft?
What are sanctions, and how do they work in practice? Which, if any, of the sanctions imposed on Russia are unprecedented, and will they have the desired impact? And how might economic statecraft be irrevocably changed following the conflict in Ukraine?
In this episode of the National Security Podcast, RegNet’s Research Fellow Dirk van der Kley and Sir Roland Wilson Scholar Helen Mitchell join Senior Fellow for Public Policy at ANU National Security College Will Stoltz to examine the economic statecraft at play, discuss the prominence of sanctions in the crisis response, and evaluate how they fit into the long-term strategic planning of liberal-democratic countries, especially in relation to China’s objectives in Taiwan.
