The Weaponization of Global Financial Public Goods

The US-led Western countries have imposed financial sanctions against Russia after the Russia-Ukraine crisis broke out in 2022.Since last year,the“weaponization of global public goods”suddenly appeared regularly in academic studies and media reports worldwide.The financial sanctions led by the US had a long history before the Ukraine crisis.For example,the United States has imposed various sanctions against Iraq,the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea(DPRK),Iran and Russia for some time.Scant academic studies and media reports discussed the weaponization of global public goods before,and the reasons were that the scale of earlier financial sanctions was limited,and the influence of the sanctioned countries was also limited.Those sanctions did not directly threaten global public goods,so researchers have not lifted these issues to the level of weaponization of global public goods.
