International and European Sanctions
Course information
Course description
The course will guide students to an understanding of the context, design, and decision-making process behind the key economic instrument utilized in modern diplomacy and especially crisis and coercive diplomacy – international sanctions. The course is dedicated explicitly to sanctions (with a key focus on EU restrictive measures) and examines the impact in the innovation, design, and execution of sanction regimes at the forefront of global developments.
After completing the course, students will be able to:
- identify appropriate contexts of sanctions use and articulate the interplay with other economic and diplomatic instruments
- compare the toolkit utilized by actors to address diplomatic challenges, crisis, or conflict
- competently analyze/appraise the weaknesses and compromises made in particular sanctions regimes
- assess and criticize the sanctions imposed from the point of view of the targeted and designing country
- assess and criticize the EU restrictive measures design and limitations in a typology of cases
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is planned as a flipped classroom, with assigned readings, pre-recorded lectures, and an interactive seminar slot once per week. Students produce a team case study which they present in the last seminars and complete the course with an exam.
