The Impact of External Pressure on Companies’ Responses to Sanctions – an International Comparative Study

Sanctions enforcement is often selective as senders face a trade-off between effective coercion in the present and the ability to use coercion in the future.

Western sanctions against Russia received a remarkable amount of public support. We hypothesize and demonstrate that whether citizens believe the measures to have been effective and justified explains their willingness to provide moral support (e.g. social advocacy) and/or costly support (e.g. boycotts).
