metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article aims to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the use of sanctions as a
  foreign policy tool. The following research questions are posed: in what way did COVID-19 affect
  the policy of sanctions around the world? To what extant did the initiators of sanctions
  change their restrictions? Where did COVID-19 rank on the global sanctions agenda? What
  was the position of the UN as a key institution of global governance and what was the reaction
  of the key countries that initiated the sanctions? The main hypothesis is that COVID-19 has
  not significantly altered the existing sanctions regime. No single initiator-state has changed its
  sanctions regime in principle, but states have made a number of humanitarian exemptions.
  However, these exemptions are limited and sanctions have continued to be imposed as usual.
  In some areas, COVID-19 has even exacerbated international tensions and raised the risks
  of sanctions, especially in U. S.—China relations. The hypothesis was tested using the event
  analysis method of sanctions episodes during the pandemic (March-June 2020). The research
  provides an analysis of quantity and quality of events and their distribution among initiators.
  Emphasis is placed on the study of events connected to COVID-19. The results reveal a limited
  impact of COVID-19 on sanctions policy and highlight the weakness of the UN to affect the
  behavior of key sanctions initiators even in conditions of a global threat such as COVID-19.
