Tiivistelmä
The goal of this study is to observe the economic sanctions issued by the European Union and the counter-sanctions issued by Russia, and their effects on the Finnish economy and Finnish foreign trade.
The background of the economic sanctions issued by the European Union and Russia is explained through the crisis in Ukraine. Both parties laid down sanctions because of the annexation of Crimea. This research will focus on the crisis itself and also to the effects that it has had on the Finnish economy and furthermore, to other European and non-European countries.
Economic sanctions and embargoes, throughout the history, have been an instrument to pressure various parties. It is questionable if they work or not.
This thesis aims to give the reader a general idea of what, why and when events happened and what were the results of those actions. The crisis in Ukraine has been maybe the most serious conflict in recent history and it is important to understand from where it originated and what are the effects on the world economy. Also this study discusses which are the possible solutions and how they could be achieved.
