Are Economic Sanctions Still Effective?:

National Security and the Dollar's Future as the Global Reserve Currency

ACIR, together with the Georgia Tech Center of International Business Education and Research, is honored to host Irfan Vaid, who will speak on the topic "Are Economic Sanctions Still Effective?; National Security and the Dollar's Future as a Global Reserve Currency."

American economic sanctions have been a major component of American Foreign Policy for decades. They have reflected not only its economic power, but also its moral force, when wielded to isolate despotic regimes. In a changing international universe, do America’s adversaries still fear the historic power of American sanctions?
