Scenarios of economic sanctions termination: key causes and factors

Abstract

The author sets out to examine potential reasons, motives and scenarios for lifting economic sanctions in the global economy and politics. The paper explores theories and approaches to defining economic sanctions as well as international trends in their imposition and removal. The practice of using and lifting sanctions is examined in terms of the possibilities for their potential removal. The author identifies several critical aspects crucial for a country to emerge from under sanctions as a result of the research. It is emphasized that a significant portion of imposed sanctions continues to exist and strengthen over time, becoming a key factor in deciding whether to maintain or lift sanction pressures.
