From fully fledged battles to economic sanctions… what’s changed? Over the last hundred years, the world of politics and international relations has evolved rapidly. In the past, war has been a first response to conflict, but now economic sanctions are front and centre when it comes to political tactics that are being used to respond to conflict and influence political behaviour.
