metadata.value: The article aims to identify the current approaches that enable to resolve the ethical dilemma
  of economic sanctions, treated as a contradiction between the goals and consequences of imposing
  sanctions as an alternative to war and an instrument of an external threat. We consider
  the standard definition of economic sanctions as restrictions imposed by sender state,
  associated with worsening of current economic conditions in target country, aimed to force
  the ruling regime of the latter to change its domestic political course and/or foreign policy.
  The research methods include general scientific methods, comparative historical analysis and
  cross-country comparative analysis; elements of political and legal analysis; systematic literature
  review. The moral permissibility of sanctions had been reflected in the ethical dilemma of
  economic sanctions: the choice of sanctions as an alternative to war and an instrument of an
  external threat that has a potential positive impact on the policy of target country, and potential
  negative humanitarian consequences for the civilian population that can offset the positive
  results that the sender associates with a change in target country’s policy. The new paradigm in
  sanctions policy based on the replacement of comprehensive sanctions with targeted ones can
  be considered as an attempt to resolve such dilemma. We analyze the main background of this
  new model. We determine that the analysis of sanctions’ compliance with just war principles
  is essential in arguing their moral and ethical permissibility. In addition, we classify main approaches
  studying the moral permissibility of economic sanctions within the framework of
  just war theory. As a conclusion, we reveal that the application of just war principles as such
  to assess the moral permissibility of economic sanctions is debatable, and further research
  should be focused on choice and use of methodological tools that are more appropriate to the
  economic nature of sanctions.
