Economic sanctions provide states and international institutions with an invaluable instrument of coercion. Without having to resort to violence, at least in the traditional sense, states can gain concessions and compliance from the target state. Economic sanctions are, however, not always successful. An analysis of 204 cases of implemented economic sanctions, from the start of the Cold War to 2000, revealed that economic sanctions were “at least partially successful” a mere 34% of the time (Hufbauer)

Hegemony Promotes Cooperation Over the past century, international trade and cooperation have risen exponentially. As states enter cooperative agreements and trade barriers crumble, the international system experiences stability and growth. Despite the benefits, many states choose to opt out of cooperation and trade because entering the international market can be expensive and partnerships can be exploitative (Baccini, Poast & Urpelainen 1).

While globalization deepens mutual dependence and further promotes this era’s trend toward peace and development, its nature of imbalance has led to the rise of power politics in the same period, complicating the process of multipolarization. The acceleration of globalization has continually deepened mutual dependence and

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia was left to face the international system in a newly independent form and henceforth it’s grand strategy had to be altered to suit new circumstances. In his foreign and defence policy, Putin creates an appropriated form of realism that takes the theoretical framework’s motivations for international actions and uses them to achieve a grand strategy that works in the interests of forming a stronger post-soviet

China’s Renminbi: “Our Currency, Your Problem” Our Currency, Your Problem is a case involving the issue of exchange rate regimes and the impact currency manipulation has on economies and trade. The United States and Europe argued that the Renminbi (RMB) was undervalued and claimed that the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) deliberately manipulated the exchange rate to lower the prices of exports, which caused the US and Europe to run huge trade deficits with China. The US and

United Nation Convention on the Law of The Sea (UNCLOS) is one of the efforts of United Nation to create a regime that may unify all nations regarding the sea matters. The creation of UNCLOS started in 1956 when the General Assembly adopted the resolution 1105 (XI). During that time only 82 states that join the UNCLOS. UNCLOS I had produce the other four separated conventions concluded in 1958. They are: i) The Convention on the Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone; ii) The Convention on the High

In one of the worst acts of genocide since the holocaust, the international community’s response mirrored that of the peacekeepers on the ground in Srebrenica—watch and wait. By the time NATO forces intervened to force peace talks, nearly 100,000 people were dead from the civil war, 65% of whom were Bosniaks. While conventions

The ´Responsibility to Protect´ (R2P) concept first came about in a 2001 report from the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS), which was set up after, then Secretary General, Kofi Annan, said there needed to be some a change in the United Nations charter regarding military forces in humanitarian interventions. This came following the criticism of the NATO intervention in Kosovo in 1999. The report further evolved into the concept that was approved in the UN’s General
