Economic sanctions are both a key foreign policy tool and an instrument for targeting wealth illicitly accumulated through corruption. Yet they are often evaded.
Join the upcoming FALCON webinar, hosted by the Quality of Government Institute, University of Gothenburg, in collaboration with Brännpunkt Europa.
Political scientist Nikolay Marinov will discuss why sanctions against Russia have proven difficult to enforce, how evasion operates in practice, and what these patterns reveal about the limits and possibilities of sanctions against both states and oligarchs.
Key themes:
✔️ How and why sanctions are evaded
✔️ Links between corruption, illicit finance, and enforcement gaps
✔️ Institutional and market factors behind sanctions effectiveness
This webinar is part of the FALCON – Fighting Corruption and Organised Crime project.
Join us for an engaging and timely discussion on the dynamics and limits of economic sanctions in today’s interconnected world.
