(22-04 Working Paper) Geopolitical Implications of Economic Sanctions  against Russia


The international community, represented by major economies such as the United States and European Union, has imposed stringent economic sanctions against Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. These sanctions include a comprehensive ban on high-tech exports, exclusion of Russian banks from the SWIFT network, and prohibition of access to foreign exchange reserves held abroad by the Russian central bank. Additionally, imports of Russian oil have been suspended. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the resultant sanctions are expected to have profound geopolitical implications for the global arena.

The current examination aims to examine the complex economic and geopolitical implications of the sanctions levied against Russia. The study begins by offering a comprehensive examination of the sanctions, including a thorough analysis of their consequences. This is followed by an in-depth exploration of the concept of weaponized interdependence, with a focus on its relationship to the ongoing energy crisis in Europe.

Subsequently, the geopolitical implications of the sanctions are analyzed, with a particular focus on the intricate relationships between nations in the context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the resulting sanctions. The study also examines the global financial system, with a focus on the role of the United States and its impact on the existing system, as well as the potential offered by the alternative financial system proposed by China.
