In her comprehensive examination of the Russia Sanctions, Christine Abely delves into the intricate web of international trade measures and sanctions imposed upon Russia in response to its 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Abely contextualizes contemporary sanctions within the broader historical and economic frameworks, offering a unique and accessible analysis of the historic export controls and import restrictions enacted since 2022. She compellingly argues that these sanctions have exerted, and will continue to exert, profound impacts on global trading patterns, financial integration, and foreign policy in innovative ways.

Abely's research specifically focuses on the multifaceted effects of sanctions on energy, food, fertilizer, the financial system, and the global dominance of the US dollar. She explores trends of de-dollarization, examining how sanctions have influenced the exchange of currencies and global trade dynamics. The book also delves into the consequences of sanctions on oligarchs, the freezing and seizure of assets, and the measures taken to enhance the effectiveness of sanctions by promoting financial transparency on a global scale.

Through meticulous research and analysis, Abely sheds light on the complex interplay between international politics, economics, and global trade. The Russia Sanctions provides a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the far-reaching consequences of geopolitical conflicts on international relations and global economic stability.
