    Monitoring the Monitor? Selective Responses to Human Rights Transgressions

    This paper investigates whether sanctions based on standardized human rights assessments are also influenced by senders’ strategic political and economic interests.

    Easier In than Out: Lessons Learned from the Termination of the Iraq Sanctions Regime

    Reconstructing previously neglected debates about ending sanctions for the “watershed case” of the UN embargo against Iraq, we find that the United States depicted the lifting of sanctions as an all-or-nothing question, which impeded a more gradual approach toward ending the measures.

    Sanctions Termination in Times of Crises: Unpacking the Role of External Shocks

    In March 2020, the UN Secretary-General called for the easing of sanctions against Iran in response to COVID-19. Hence, external shocks are potentially related to sanctions termination. Yet, the effect of different types of external shocks such as pandemics, natural disasters, and economic crises on the (gradual) removal of sanctions has not been systematically studied. This project examines when and how external shocks affect sanctions termination through a nested research design combining new data collection, statistical analyses, and two case studies.

    The Currency Constraint: Explaining the Selective Enforcement of U.S. Financial Sanctions

    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. Using the example of US financial sanctions, we show that enforcement should be greater when the US dollar is strong relative to other settlement mechanisms.

    Legitimacy and Legitimation Strategies in Authoritarian Regimes

    All authoritarian regimes seek to substantiate their right to rule. In this chapter, we differentiate legitimation—understood as the process of claiming popular support—from legitimacy itself, which refers to the extent to which a regime is perceived as legitimate by its citizens.

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

    Our study argues that different types of external pressure, such as public shaming, the nature of companies’ business relationships, and the legal-regulatory environments affects how firms responded to the sanctions against Russia . Using results from a survey of 610 medium-sized companies in Germany, Poland, and the United States, we find support for this claim.

    Impact of Sanctions on Senders Countries’ Enterprises – the Case of the Russian–Ukraine Military Conflict

    The goal of this project is to assess the short- and mid-term economic consequences of EU and US sanctions imposed on Russia on companies from sanctions sender countries. Knowing how and why economic sanctions affect firms’ behavior is key to understanding the impact that sanctions will have - both for good and for ill – for senders’ countries’ economies and sanctions’ effectiveness.

    The Termination of International Sanctions: Causes, Processes and Domestic Consequences

    Sanctions termination has become a ubiquitous phenomenon in international politics. Controversies about cases such as Cuba, Iran, Russia, and Zimbabwe exemplify the contested nature of policy debates about the termination of sanctions. Yet, research has focused on sanctions’ implementation and effectiveness, directing little attention towards their removal. This project examines the causes, processes, and consequences of ending sanctions. It combines cross-national analyses based on the first global dataset on sanctions termination with in-depth case studies covering different regions.

    Aufbruch Afrika

    Der Einfluss Europas und der USA in Afrika ändert sich. Chinas und Russlands Engagement schafft neue Möglichkeiten, aber auch neue Abhängigkeiten. So stellen sich auch für Europa wichtige Fragen: Wohin entwickelt sich Afrika? Und wie lassen sich die Beziehungen mit Afrika gestalten?

    Wie Technik made in Germany zu russischen Firmen gelangt

    Güter, die dem Krieg gegen die Ukraine dienen, dürften eigentlich nicht mehr an Putins Regime geliefert werden. Doch Recherchen zeigen, wie die EU-Sanktionen über eine Tochterfirma in der Türkei offenbar systematisch umgangen wurden.

    Was passiert hinter den Kulissen der Macht genau? Der neue Film des Oscar-nominierten Regisseurs Dror Moreh beleuchtet Verhaltensmuster, die zu Stillstand und Untätigkeit führen, selbst im Angesicht eines Völkermords, und liefert eine intensive Untersuchung der US-Außenpolitik der letzten 40 Jahre.

    Academic Publishing

    GIGA Doktorandenprogramm

    The workshop is designed to cover the most important aspects of publishing scholarly work. It will first offer an overview of different formats, including articles, book chapters, policy papers, working papers and book reviews. In a second step, the workshop will zoom into the publication of peer-reviewed articles. It will guide the participants through the entire process from manuscript preparation to handling article proofs. In particular, I will cover the following topics: deciding when to submit a paper, crafting a convincing title and abstract, writing a cover letter, identifying the most suitable journals, understanding and addressing reviewer comments, finalizing the accepted article, and promoting your published work. Best practices for each step of this process will be discussed. Throughout the workshop, I will also provide in-depth information on the editorial and production process based on my experiences as the editor-in-chief of an SSCI-ranked journal, guest editor of special issues and author. During the practical phases of the workshop, you will get the opportunity to receive peer and expert feedback on questions such as journal targeting and abstract writing.

    An Introduction to the Logic and Practice of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)

    GIGA Doktorandenprogramm

    This course provides an introduction into Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). We will discuss the set-theoretic and Boolean foundations of the method, its logic of inference and learn how to use the method when working with real-world data. The elements of the course dedicated to the underlying logic will cover fuzzy and crisp sets, the analysis of necessary and sufficient conditions via set relations and complex causality, including equifinality, conjunctural relations and asymmetry. This will also allow participants to assess how (fuzzy) sets can be used as a tool for the construction of (ideal) types. The practice of fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) will be taught on the basis of the R package, which is state-of-the-art software for applying QCA. The participants will learn how to calibrate, i.e. to how to transfer quantitative and qualitative data into sets membership values, and how to analyze a so-called truth table, i.e. a data matrix that summarizes case-based information in a systematic fashion. Then, consistency and coverage measures as well as frequency thresholds are presented as tools to deal with noisy real-world data and to assess the robustness of results. Finally, pitfalls and good practices are discussed.
