Join Columbia's Center on Global Economic Governance for a discussion of current U.S. sanction strategy, an important topic in U.S.-Russian relations.

As a tool of global governance, “The Use (and abuse) of Sanctions as a Foreign Policy Tool,” will include discussion of what sanctions can (and cannot) achieve, best practices, and avoidable pitfalls. Ambassador Fried, whose last job in government in a 40-year Foreign Service career was Sanctions Coordinator for the State Department, will discuss sanctions in the context of current front-burner foreign policy challenges, including Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

This event is part of the Ambassador Donald and Vera Blinken Lecture Series on Global Governance.

Speaker:

Ambassador Daniel Fried, distinguished fellow with the Atlantic Council and is the United States’ longest-serving diplomat.
