Journal of Historical Research, Law and Policy 3115-7505 In Press 2027 09 01 The Relationship Between Good Governance and Economic Sanctions: Policy Requirements The Relationship Between Good Governance and Economic Sanctions: Policy Requirements 1 16 EN Journal Article 2026 05 11 <p>Today, unilateral economic sanctions and counter-sanction measures have become among the most prominent features of interstate competition in the modern era, to the extent that they may be regarded as an important component of the legal and political order. The increasing use of economic sanctions by the international community has compelled sanctioned states to seek effective strategies for managing these measures. Accordingly, the present study addresses the following question: What capacities and requirements does good governance provide for confronting economic sanctions and reducing economic vulnerability? The study hypothesizes that states experiencing economic pressure resulting from sanctions demonstrate resilience and resistance in accordance with the capacities and capabilities of their political and economic institutions. This issue is examined within the framework of the principles of good governance, which constitute the theoretical foundation of the study. The findings indicate that the impact and effectiveness of sanctions largely depend on a country’s domestic institutions. In this regard, interaction among the government, private sector, and civil society provides a basis for integrating political and economic institutions and shaping the relationship between good governance and counter-sanction strategies. The study employed a descriptive-analytical method, and data were collected through library and internet-based sources.</p> https://jhrlp.com/index.php/jhrlp/article/download/409/386
