Zit er een strategie achter Trumps wilde geschut met handelstarieven? Economisch historicus Nicholas Mulder acht het mogelijk dat de regering-Trump een nieuw economisch regime wil afdwingen, gebaseerd op een goedkopere dollar. Maar misschien is er simpelweg sprake van economische zelfverminking door de Verenigde Staten. In Historische Woorden klinkt Rodrigo Duterte, die door de huidige Filipijnse regering werd uitgeleverd aan het Internationaal Strafhof in Den Haag.

In wat inmiddels geldt als de vijftigste editie van Buitenlandse Zaken, spreekt Nicholas Mulder, onderzoeker aan Cornell University en auteur van het veelgeprezen boek The Economic Weapon, over sancties als instrument in economische oorlogsvoering. Mulder kijkt vooruit naar een nieuwe fase van economisch conflict met de Verenigde Staten, nu Trump mogelijk terugkeert. In Historische Woorden horen we hoe Trump lijkt te flirten met het idee van territoriale expansie, waarbij zijn aandacht onder andere op Groenland is gericht. We sluiten dit Amerikaans drieluik af met Groene-redacteur Eva Hofman. Samen met haar verkennen we de opkomende alliantie tussen de tech-magnaten van Silicon Valley – Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk en Peter Thiel – en de nieuwe regering-Trump.

Las sanciones económicas impuestas por Estados Unidos o la Unión Europea a países agresores o que atentan contra el orden internacional se han convertido en un sucedáneo de la lucha armada. En vez de atacar con soldados en el terreno, Occidente ataca las economías de países como Rusia a fin de debilitarlos y forzar al régimen a abandonar su belicismo. Pero, ¿cómo son de efectivas estas medidas? ¿Pueden escapar los países sancionados del régimen de sanciones? En este episodio, Nico y Alfonso repasan la historia del arma económica, desde que empezaron a imponerse sanciones a países agresores como la Alemania nazi o el Japón imperial en los años 20 y 30, hasta nuestros días. La historia enseña que en ocasiones estas sanciones son efectivas y en otros son terriblemente contraproducentes. ¿En qué escenario nos encontramos ahora?Sobre este tema, recomendamos el libro The Economic Weapon (2022) del historiador Nicholas Mulder.

It's been two years since Russia brought war to Ukraine. America, Britain and the European Union may not have intervened by putting boots on the ground—but they have launched a massive financial counteroffensive. Vladimir Putin's government, his cronies and the businesses profiting from the war are all subject to sanctions, yet the Russian economy has proved remarkably resilient. So, does financial warfare work?Hosts: Mike Bird, Alice Fulwood and Tom Lee-Devlin. Guests: The Economist's Cerian Richmond Jones; Juan Zarate, the architect of America's sanctions after the September 11th attacks; and Nicholas Mulder, author of “The Economic Weapon”, which examines the rise of sanctions as a tool of war.Get a world of insights for 50% off—subscribe to Economist Podcasts+If you're already a subscriber to The Economist, you'll have full access to all our shows as part of your subscription.

Immediately after Russia invaded Ukraine last year, the United States led a coalition of countries to try to impose stiff economic punishments on Moscow. These sanctions have hurt Russia's economy in all kinds of ways—but not enough to stop the war. In fact, a new International Monetary Fund report projects that the Russian economy is expected to grow in 2023. This raises the question: Are sanctions an effective diplomatic tool? Or do we just expect too much of them? This week, FP's editor in chief, Ravi Agrawal, is joined by Agathe Demarais, author of Backfire: How Sanctions Reshape the World Against U.S. Interests, and Nicholas Mulder, author of The Economic Weapon: The Rise of Sanctions as a Tool of Modern War.

A Hoover History Working Group Seminar with Nicholas Mulder. Mulder's first book, The Economic Weapon, is a history of the interwar origins of economic sanctions, arguing that sanctions were a potent but unstable and unpredictable political tool whose importance to the crisis of the 1930s and 1940s is greater than usually assumed. Based on wartime blockade practices, sanctions offered a novel way to prevent war. The practice became embedded in the League of Nations and national state policy, and spurred new economic interventions, as well as anti-liberal bids for autarky. ABOUT THE SPEAKER Nicholas Mulder is assistant professor of history at Cornell University, as well as a Milstein Faculty Fellow. His research focuses on Europe's political, economic, and intellectual history, with particular attention to the era of the world wars between 1914 and 1945. Most recently, he has also emerged as one of the leading commentators on the use of sanctions against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine. Click here to read Nicholas Mulder's Wall Street Journal article, “Don't Expect Sanctions to Win the Ukraine War.” ABOUT THE PROGRAM This talk is part of the History Working Group Seminar Series. A central piece of the History Working Group is the seminar series, which is hosted in partnership with the Hoover Library & Archives. The seminar series was launched in the fall of 2019, and thus far has included six talks from Hoover research fellows, visiting scholars, and Stanford faculty. The seminars provide outside experts with an opportunity to present their research and receive feedback on their work. While the lunch seminars have grown in reputation, they have been purposefully kept small in order to ensure that the discussion retains a good seminar atmosphere.

Sanctions are not new, but they deliver bigger global shocks and are easier to avoid than at any time in history. Nicholas Mulder's latest book, The Economic Weapon, the Rise of Sanctions as a Tool of Modern War, looks at sanctions regimes of the past to better understand the implications of today's sweeping sanctions against Russia. In this podcast, Mulder says we need to think more carefully about crafting macroeconomic policy at a global level to offset the negative effects that the sanctions are having on third countries.

Vi har vænnet os til at bruge sanktioner mere og mere, selv om de meget sjældent virker efter hensigten. Og når man bruger dem mod store stater, plejer de at gøre disse stater mere autoritære og aggressive. Det forklarer den hollandske historiker Nicholas Mulder, som har udgivet et hovedværk om sanktionernes historie som økonomisk våben. Spørgsmålet er så, hvad Vestens sanktioner vil gøre ved Putins Rusland?
The Russian political scientist Ilya Matveev recently described the impact of the West's sanctions on his country as “30 years of economic development thrown into the bin.” He's not exaggerating. Economists expect the Russian economy to contract by at least 15 percent of G.D.P. this year. Inflation is spiking. An exodus of Russian professionals is underway. Stories of shortages and long lines for basic consumer goods abound.The U.S. and its allies have turned to sanctions as a way of taking action against Russia's atrocities without direct military intervention. But to describe these sanctions as anything short of all-out economic warfare is euphemistic. Measures like these might be cloaked in the technocratic language of finance and economics, but the immiseration they cause is anything but abstract.Nicholas Mulder is a historian at Cornell University and the author of the terrifyingly relevant new book “The Economic Weapon: The Rise of Sanctions as a Tool of Modern War.” In it, Mulder focuses on the last time economic warfare was waged at the scale we're witnessing today, the period between World War I and World War II. And the book's central lesson is this: We ultimately don't know what's going to happen when sanctions of this magnitude collide with the ideologies, myths and political dynamics of a given country. They could persuade the targeted country to back down. But they could also make it so desperate that it becomes more aggressive or lashes out — as Germany and Japan did on the eve of World War II.So this is a discussion about what kind of weapon sanctions are, whether they actually achieve their goals and how they might shape the future of the Russia-Ukraine conflict — and the world. We also explore how sanctions “weaponize inflation,” whether they could lead to Vladimir Putin's downfall in Russia, the toll they have taken on the Russian economy, how the West can leverage its sanctions to help bring about an end to the war in Ukraine, whether a European energy embargo could backfire, how this economic war is destabilizing countries around the world, the humanitarian crisis U.S. sanctions are helping create in Afghanistan, and what a foreign policy that didn't rely so heavily on sanctions could look like.This episode is guest hosted by Rogé Karma, the staff editor for “The Ezra Klein Show.” Rogé has been with the show since July 2019, when it was based at Vox.

Die Sanktionen gegen Russland sind massiv, aber werden sie Putin auch dazu bringen, seinen Krieg gegen die Ukraine zu beenden? Ein Blick in die Geschichte ist lohnend und desillusionierend: Der Wirtschaftshistoriker Nicholas Mulder hat sich mit der Geschichte der Sanktionen beschäftigt, in seinem Buch „The Economic Weapon“ beschreibt er, wie nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg der Völkerbund Sanktionen als Waffen in Friedenszeiten einsetzt. Anfangs mit Erfolg, dies aber ändert sich in den 1930er-Jahren, als Italien in Äthiopien einmarschiert – trotz harter Sanktionen. Auch Japan und Deutschland sind infolgedessen nicht abgeschreckt, sondern bereiten sich vor, um für den Krieg besser gerüstet zu sein. Autarkie-Bestrebungen gab es in allen drei Ländern und sie wurden durch die Sanktionen verstärkt. Aber auch die jüngste Vergangenheit zeigt, dass weniger als 20 Prozent aller Sanktionen wirklich effektiv sind. Was könnte man jenseits der Sanktionen tun, um wieder Frieden zu etablieren und der Ukraine zu Wohlstand zu verhelfen? Die EU müsste Geld in die Hand nehmen, viel Geld. Und hier könnte die gerade allseitig betonte Solidarität mit den Ukrainern jäh enden. Darüber sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“.

The United States, the European Union, and a host of other countries (even Switzerland!) are hoping to stop Putin's war on Ukraine by placing Russia under the most extreme sanctions package ever enacted on a single country. But will it make a difference? The New York Times' Matina Stevis-Gridneff and sanctions expert Nicholas Mulder join Deep Dish to explain how sanctions work, what they mean for real people, and whether they are likely to stop the war or make it worse.

This week we have an emergency podcast episode on the war in Ukraine. We're joined by our two colleagues and leading international law scholars – Oona Hathaway, the Gerard C. and Bernice Latrobe Smith Professor of International Law at Yale Law School, and Scott Shapiro, the Chalres F. Southmayd Professor of Law and Professor of Philosophy at Yale Law School. In this conversation, which took place Sunday, February 27 even as a fluid situation evolved, we focus on the legal theory implications of the war. We get into Oona and Scott's book The Internationalists and whether Putin's invasion constitutes a challenge to the global legal order described in their book. In addition, even if in the global order a norm exists against aggression and conquest, do some countries seem to be exempt from operating under these norms? We next compare the American domestic criminal law system to the international legal system and ask why internationally we tolerate a system where one actor can veto attempts to make it operate within the system. A debate emerges if Russia is actually avoiding the norms of the legal system right now given the costs it is facing through the global response to their invasion. In the conversation, we discuss the efficacy of “outcasting” and whether current American and European sanctions can be effective. After, we touch on Putin's case for war and how his justification compares to other historic “war manifestos.” There's a lot to discuss here and we're lucky to have two of the experts in the field here to break it down.

Economic sanctions dominate the landscape of world politics today. First developed in the early twentieth century as a way of exploiting the flows of globalization to defend liberal internationalism, their appeal is that they function as an alternative to war. This view, however, ignores the dark paradox at their core: designed to prevent war, economic sanctions are modeled on devastating techniques of warfare. Tracing the use of economic sanctions from the blockades of World War I to the policing of colonial empires and the interwar confrontation with fascism, Nicholas Mulder uses extensive archival research in a political, economic, legal, and military history that reveals how a coercive wartime tool was adopted as an instrument of peacekeeping by the League of Nations. The Economic Weapon: The Rise of Sanctions as a Tool of Modern War (Yale University Press, 2022) casts an overdue light on why sanctions are widely considered a form of war, and why their unintended consequences are so tremendous.
