If you work across time zones, borders and cultures, this is the show for you. In the Weekly Concept series, Leonardo aims at defining a topic in international business. These are shorter episodes to illustrate key concepts in this discipline.

Today, we talk about economic sanctions.

Economic sanctions act as tools of diplomacy that can greatly affect global trade. These measures, which can include everything from trade embargoes to asset freezes, aim to persuade countries or entities to change their behavior in line with international expectations.
