The consequences of anti-Russian sanctions for Russian and international trade law developments

Abstract

This research paper analyses the consequences of anti-Russian sanctions on developments in Russian and international trade law. Thus, Russia is actively practicing special economic measures to help its economy resist these actions. It is also developing closer cooperation with important trading States that have not introduced sanctions against it. Cooperation and trade diversification are an effective way for Russia to resist the sanctions crisis, but it is also the only way for States applying the sanctions to prevent sanctions circumvention. The article is divided into two parts: development of Russian special economic measures (I) and international cooperation mechanisms (II).
