Sanctions As War explores the topic of sanctions and their impact. The hosts introduce Professors Immanuel Ness and Stuart Davis, editors of the book Sanctions As War. They discuss the nature and enforcement of sanctions, challenging the notion that they are a nonviolent alternative to war. The podcast also explores the racialization of populations in the third world and the increasing application of sanctions to countries like China. It examines the influence of mainstream media on the sanctions narrative and delves into the role of sanctions within the neoliberal order.
