Hunter H: The Plain-English Guide to
Economic Sanctions Risk Assessments

The Plain-English Guide to Economic Sanctions Risk Assessments

Next Generation

As a response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the United States and the European Union have put in place far-reaching and highly coordinated sanctions against Russia. While their sanctions are similar in content, the United States and the European Union differ in their sanctions¿ history as well as in their respective sanctions frameworks, which govern how sanctions are adopted, implemented, and challenged. These frameworks constitute the backbone of the sanctions imposed and shape their effectiveness and impact. They therefore are critical for the United States¿ and the European Union¿s capacity to conduct geopolitics. This article explores the sanctions frameworks of the United States and the European Union from a comparative perspective and investigates their similarities and differences. It argues that the post 2022 sanctions against Russia are in many ways a turning point for the European Union¿s sanction practice, uncovering considerable insufficiencies, but also sparking critical reflection and much needed innovation. It furthermore underscores that a good look at the long-serving United States¿ sanctions framework will pay off for the European Union, when creating the foundation for future sanctions regimes.

The Backbone of Economic Sanctions - Comparing US and EU Sanctions Frameworks

A Financial Times Book of the Year 'Milanovic combines his deep knowledge of political economy and philosophy and his mastery of statistics to explain the rise of Asia and the corresponding decline of the West' James K. Galbraith A leading economist economist guides us through the ruins of the current world order: where do we go next? Global neoliberalism is on its last legs, while a new international economic order is taking hold. Trade blocs, tariff wars, economic sanctions, and national champions are in; nationalism, anti-immigration movements and the far-right are on the rise. Liberalism is being rejected by the civic realm, as the status quo of the past fifty years crumbles. What remains in its wake?Drawing on original research, leading economist Branko Milanovic reveals the seismic shifts that are shaping our world. He details the facts: how the rising economic power of Asia is creating a new global 'middle class' in the greatest reshuffle of incomes since the Industrial Revolution. He explores our fears: why are we becoming increasingly unhappy, when the world is becoming richer and more equal? And he shows us the fight ahead: as plutocracy returns, global war threatens, and a new system silently shapes our nations, driving malcontent to breaking point. In The Great Global Transformation, Milanovic provides an invaluable guide to the new 21st century.'A must read for anyone concerned about the future of the world order' Gordon Brown'Everyone who wants to understand these titanic changes must read this book' Martin Jacques

National Market Liberalism in a Multipolar World

The Great Global Transformation

The war in Ukraine is fast approaching its second anniversary since its commencement on 24 February 2022 as a blatant aggression by Russia. As we discuss in detail in this book, there are multiple international legal issues that arise and require addressing. What is more, the very international legal order is under threat, insofar as the fundamental international law obligations are not being complied with and the basic international rules are utterly ignored. This book discusses a number of international law issues arising from the war in Ukraine. It covers not only the traditional subjects of war, such as jus ad bellum, international criminal law, and the law of neutrality, but also the relatively new issues arising from the economic sanctions against Russia, including aspects of the WTO law and international investment law. This book provides the readers with opportunities to reconsider the various legal aspects of the war in Ukraine.

The War in Ukraine and International Law

Darkside
 Economics is a book about a different use of economics - as a weapon to coerce other economies or to defend them from coercion. There is intense interest in economic warfare which is much in the headlines today, but it has a long history of use and abuse.
The weapons covered include sanctions, embargoes, tariffs, technology restrictions, investment policy, financial tools and some other new instruments based on AI and crypto. We look at the history of these practices, explain how they work and estimate their effects, from the point of view of the aggressor, the target or other small countries. This includes strategic games, weapons retaliation, resilience-building, chokepoint mapping and supply chain management.
These tools often have negative economic effects, but they continue to be a central part of both diplomatic and military strategy, and they are happening in the trade wars all around us. Economists, policy-makers, students, the media and the informed public all need to understand them better. The radical ideas and intriguing stories in this short book will help them.

The Art of Economic Warfare

Darkside Economics

An NVIDIA chip in a Russian combat drone. U.S. components in the FSB's radio equipment. Off-the-shelf technology that kills. Enno Lenze brings Russian drones back from the front lines to Berlin, takes them apart in the workshop at the Berlin Story Bunker, and shows what's inside: Western technology can be found in almost every large drone-despite all the sanctions.
The book explains how the war of maneuver evolved into drone warfare and how it works today: the Molnia kamikaze drone, which kills a person for ten euros; the Shahed's mesh modem, which turns the drones into a swarm; jammers and scanners in the battle for every radio frequency; and artificial intelligence that identifies targets on its own in the field. Using more than 30 analyzed drones, Lenze shows how the chips make their way to Russia, why the sanctions are having an effect yet are still failing-and what this form of warfare means for Europe.
With over 50 color illustrations: photos of disassembled drones, circuit boards, and components on display at the Ukraine Museum in Berlin-the only drone exhibition of its kind in Europe.

From the author of&nbsp;Very Bad People, another thrilling exploration of the world's worst warlords, grifters and kleptocrats - and the brilliant investigators taking them down A small number of people, motivated by an insatiable greed for power and wealth, and backed by a pinstripe army of enablers (and sometimes real armies too), have driven the world to the brink of destruction. They are the super-villains of corruption and war, some with a power greater than nation state and the capacity to derail the world order. Propping up their opulent lifestyles is a mess of crime, violence and deception on a monumental scale. But there is a fightback: small but fearless groups of brilliant undercover sleuths closing in on them, one step at a time. In&nbsp;Terrible Humans,&nbsp;Patrick Alley, co-founder of Global Witness and the author of&nbsp;Very Bad People,&nbsp;introduces us to some of the world's worst warlords, grifters and kleptocrats who can be found everywhere from presidential palaces to the board rooms of some of the world's best known companies. Pitted against them, the book also follows the people unravelling the deals, tracking the money and going undercover at great risk. From the oligarch charged with ordering the killing of an investigative journalist to the mercenary army seizing the natural resources of an entire African country, this is a whirlwind tour of the dark underbelly of the world's super powerful and wickedly wealthy, and the daring investigators dragging them into the light.

The World's Most Corrupt Super-Villains And The Fight to Bring Them Down

Terrible Humans

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Deftly written, Chokepoints is a compelling and dramatic narrative about the new shape of geopolitics." — Daniel Yergin, The Wall Street Journal "A timely, riveting world tour...[An] absorbing book." — The Economist “Remarkable...One of the most important books on economic warfare ever written.” —&nbsp;Paul Kennedy, author of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers The epic story of how America turned the world economy into a weapon, upending decades of globalization to take on a new authoritarian axis—Russia, China, and Iran. It used to be that ravaging another country’s economy required blockading its ports and laying siege to its cities. Now all it takes is a statement posted online by the U.S. government. In Chokepoints, Edward Fishman, a former top State Department sanctions official, takes us deep into the back rooms of power to reveal the untold history of the last two decades of U.S. foreign policy, in which America renounced the gospel of globalization and waged a new kind of economic war. As Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Ayatollah Khamenei wreaked havoc on the world stage, mavericks within the U.S. government built a fearsome new arsenal of economic weapons, exploiting America’s dominance in global finance and technology. Successive U.S. presidents have relied on these unconventional weapons to address the most pressing national-security threats, for good and for ill. Chokepoints provides a thrilling account of one of the most critical geopolitical developments of our time, demystifying the complex strategies the U.S. government uses to harness the power of Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Big Oil against America’s enemies. At the center of the narrative is an eclectic group of policy innovators: the diplomats, lawyers, and financial whizzes who’ve masterminded America’s escalating economic wars against Russia, China, and Iran. Economic warfare has become the primary way the United States confronts international crises and counters rivals. Sometimes it has achieved spectacular success; other times, bitter failure. The result we live with today is a new world order: an economic arms race among great powers and a fracturing global economy. Chokepoints is the definitive account of how America pioneered this new, hard-hitting style of economic war—and how it’s changing the world.

American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare

Chokepoints

This book examines the interface between EU primary law and national substantive and procedural legislation governing fines imposed by Member States for breaches of European law or national implementing legislation. It focuses on analyzing the general principles of EU law and the European fundamental rights enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. It explains the links between EU law and national fining legislation or proceedings that trigger the duty to respect EU primary law. It covers the concepts of consistent interpretation, the primacy of EU law, and the effectiveness of European fundamental rights and general principles from the perspective of national fining proceedings and the protection of individuals. The collection discusses the following principles and fundamental rights: the principle of legal certainty, the principle of protection of legitimate expectations, the principles of equal treatment and non-discrimination, the principle of proportionality, the principle of ne bis in idem, the principle of good administration, and the right to an effective remedy. Each principle or fundamental right has been analyzed coherently, with the focus on the rights of individuals and the duties of national administrative authorities and courts in the course of national fining proceedings. It also explores the interdependencies between various principles and rights, as well as some specific problems in this area that have occurred in Poland, thus showing the practical importance of the research, or issues that are common to all Member States irrespective of differences in national procedures and fining provisions. The volume will be a valuable resource for researchers, academics, and policy-makers working in the areas of EU law, Administrative Law, and Comparative Law.

Thèse de Master de l'année 2024 dans le domaine Droit - Autres, note: 17,50/20, Université de Yaoundé II (Faculty of Laws and Political Sciences), cours: Droit Public Financier, langue: français, résumé: Ce mémoire propose une analyse approfondie du contrôle de l'exécution du budget des collectivités territoriales décentralisées au Cameroun. Il examine les fondements juridiques, les enjeux pratiques et les perspectives d'évolution de cette question en droit de la décentralisation. Destiné aux étudiants, chercheurs, enseignants et praticiens du droit, ce mémoire constitue une ressource rigoureuse, appuyée sur la doctrine, la jurisprudence et les textes à caractère national et régional. 

Le cadre législatif des CTD au Cameroun a été renforcé par la loi no 2019/024 du 24 décembre 2019 portant Code général des collectivités territoriales décentralisées. Cette loi précise les principes de la décentralisation, les compétences transférées aux CTD, ainsi que les mécanismes de l'exécution et du contrôle budgétaire. En complément, la loi no 2009/011 du 10 juillet 2009 portant régime financier des collectivités territoriales décentralisées établit des règles spécifiques concernant l'élaboration, l'exécution et le contrôle de l'exécution du budget des CTD, ainsi que les obligations en matière de transparence et de responsabilité financière. En effet, la question du financement de la décentralisation figure en bonne place dans la loi portant Code général des collectivités territoriales décentralisées. 

C'est encore conformément à l'esprit du principe de l'autonomie financière que se réalise l'exécution des opérations financières des CTD malgré les contrôles susceptibles de s'appliquer. Dès lors, nous avons privilégié la question de l'effectuation du contrôle de l'exécution du budget des CTD en mettant prioritairement en lumière la méthode juridique et accessoirement la méthode sociologique. 

Au bénéfice des considérations qui précèdent, il ressort que le contrôle de l'exécution du budget des CTD est axé sur la régularité et la performance. En effet, la possibilité de sanctions en cas d'irrégularités ou de mauvaise gestion joue un rôle dissuasif important. Elle incite les gestionnaires publics à respecter les règles et à adopter des comportements responsables, sachant qu'ils peuvent être tenus responsables de leurs actes.

Le contrôle de l'exécution du budget des collectivités territoriales décentralisées au Cameroun

"From the New York Times bestselling author of The Shia Revival, a revelatory account of Iran's grand strategy at home and on the world stage. Iran presents one of the most significant foreign policy challenges for America and the West, yet very little is known about what the country's goals really are. Vali Nasr examines Iran's political history in new ways to explain its actions and ambitions on the world stage, showing how, behind the veneer of theocracy and Islamic ideology, today's Iran is pursuing a grand strategy aimed at securing the country internally and asserting its place in the region and the world. Drawing on memoirs, oral histories, and original in-depth interviews with Iranian decision makers, Nasr brings to light facts and events in Iran's political history that have been overlooked until now. He traces the roots of Iran's strategic outlook to its experiences over the past four decades of war with Iraq in the 1980s and the subsequent American containment of Iran, invasion of Iraq in 2003, and posture toward Iran thereafter. Nasr reveals how these experiences have shaped a geopolitical outlook driven by pervasive fear of America and its plans for the Middle East. Challenging the notion that Iran's foreign policy simply reflects its revolutionary values or theocratic government, Iran's Grand Strategy provides invaluable new insights into what Iran wants and why, explaining the country's resistance to the United States, its nuclear ambitions, and its pursuit of influence and proxies across the Middle East"--
