This book aims to create a user-friendly, accessible guide to the complex area of sanctions law. In particular, the book will examine how sanctions restrictions work in practice, and what the ...implications are for multinational businesses operating across numerous sanctions regimes. To this extent, the book considers the interrelationship between sanctions at the supranational and national levels, including the impact of the far-reaching US sanctions regime. The book’s aim is not to provide an exhaustive list of sanctions regulations, but rather a framework for engaging with the relevant legislation and the main issues arising therefrom. Reinforcing this practical and commercially-focused approach, each chapter is written in a format that enables easy reading and rapid assimilation. Where there are relevant materials, be they legislative or case-law, these are outlined at the start of each chapter. In addition, the chapters dealing with challenges to sanctions designations each include a section with key principles, providing the clearest possible treatment of the subject.
El presente estudio se corresponde a la sanción de conductas en actos de incumplimiento de obligaciones en materia laboral, de acuerdo a lo dispuesto por la Constitución de la República del Ecuador, ...cuyo objetivo es determinar las particularidades de las infracciones de índole laboral. Se utilizó la investigación descriptiva no experimental y métodos teóricos y empíricos. Los resultados obtenidos fueron referentes a la tipificación de conductas que llegarían a cometerse en el ámbito laboral. Se concluye que es importante fortalecer la normativa conforme a los principios fundamentales y la Seguridad Jurídica para determinar las sanciones adecuadas en los casos de fraude en materia laboral.
Sanctions have become the go-to foreign policy tool for the United
States. Coercive economic measures such as trade tariffs, financial
penalties, and export controls affect large numbers of companies
...and states across the globe. Some of these penalties target
nonstate actors, such as Colombian drug cartels and Islamist terror
groups; others apply to entire countries, including North Korea,
Iran, and Russia. U.S. policy makers see sanctions as a low-cost
tactic, but in reality these measures often fail to achieve their
intended goals-and their potent side effects can even harm American
interests. Backfire explores the surprising ways sanctions
affect multinational companies, governments, and ultimately
millions of people around the world. Drawing on interviews with
experts, policy makers, and people in sanctioned countries, Agathe
Demarais examines the unintended consequences of the use of
sanctions as a diplomatic weapon. The proliferation of sanctions
spurs efforts to evade them, as states and firms seek ways to
circumvent U.S. penalties. This is only part of the story.
Sanctions also reshape relations between countries, pushing
governments that are at odds with the U.S. closer to each other-or,
increasingly, to Russia and China. Full of counterintuitive
insights spanning a wide range of topics, from Russia's invasion of
Ukraine to Iran's COVID response and China's cryptocurrency
ambitions, Backfire reveals how sanctions are transforming
geopolitics and the global economy-as well as diminishing U.S.
influence. This insider's account is an eye-opening, accessible,
and timely book that sheds light on the future of sanctions in an
increasingly multipolar world.
This innovative study shows that multilateral sanctions are coercive in their pressure on their target and in their origin: the sanctions themselves frequently result from coercive policies, with one ...state attempting to coerce others through persuasion, threats, and promises. To analyze this process, Lisa Martin uses a novel methodology combining game-theoretic models, statistical analysis, and case studies. She emphasizes that credible commitments gain international cooperation, and concludes that the involvement of international institutions and the willingness of the main "sender" to bear heavy costs are the central factors influencing the sanction's credibility.
We review a number of developments and trends in the literature on economic sanctions. We discuss salient contributions to the theoretical literature, data collection, and empirical work on the ...impact, effectiveness and success of sanctions in Economics and Political Science. Our interdisciplinary perspective highlights the existence of a stark contrast in the ways the two disciplines view and analyze sanctions. Taking advantage of this perspective, we identify potential directions for future work. Most importantly, we argue that moving toward a better understanding of the causes and consequences of economic sanctions requires a much tighter integration of concepts from Political Science and Economics and a more extensive interdisciplinary collaboration.
Abstract Roman Law in the Late Empire, compiled to a large extent in the Codex Theodosianus, contemplated numerous sanctions that involved the use of this easily melted heavy metal. Among them, the ...scourging with lead whips and the intake of molten lead would especially stand out.
