Global Perspectives on Sanctions explores why sanctions are contested by so many countries around the world. While most countries have declared their opposition to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, relatively few have taken any action to apply restrictive measures on Moscow. Is it because they do not share norms of non-intervention and opposition to the use of force, is it because they are protecting their self-interests, or is it because they oppose the self-appointed group of countries enacting sanctions, or do they object to the use of sanctions in general?This edited collection investigates these issues by undertaking a multi-perspectivist, empirical and historically grounded set of analyses from Europe, North America, Africa, Latin America, East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia. Resistance to the use of sanctions is typically not based on opposition to global norms themselves, but how they are interpreted, by whom, and on the instruments themselves.
