After invading Ukraine a month ago, Russia has been subjected to a barrage of sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries around the world. While these penalties have put pressure on Russia, it remains to be seen whether they'll be enough to make Vladimir Putin change course in Ukraine. Dr. Scott Deacle, Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Business and Economics at Ursinus College, examines the different types of sanctions being brought against Russia. He also looks back on previous chapters in history when sanctions have both succeeded and failed, and explains why China could ultimately have the biggest say in whether the sanctions against Russia will work.
