| The Geoeconomic Diplomacy of European Sanctions Subjects: Christianity and other religions; Church history; Antiquities.; Christianity.; Church history; Greeks; Interfaith relations.; Religion.; When policy-makers opt for sanctions or other economic power instruments in response to geostrategic challenges, the stage is set for geoeconomic diplomacy . Challenging traditional conceptions about the interplay between governments and markets, this book sheds a new light on the diplomatic actors and processes that shape successful geoeconomic foreign and security policy-making. Unpacking the 'networked practices' through which diplomats advanced the early implementation of the European Union's far-reaching sanctions regimes against Russia and Syria, the book demonstrates how geoeconomic diplomats depend on their abilities to navigate in complex actor-networks in the interfaces between the public, private, and non-governmental realm. |
