The Institute of Geoeconomics (IOG) is pleased to announce that IOG\u2019s Director SUZUKI Kazuto will participate in the webinar \u201cEconomic security: Japan and the West\u2019s sanctions coordination against Russia\u201d on September 13, 2022. This webinar will be moderated by TOGASHI Mariko, Asia Pacific Initiative\u2019s Matsumoto-Samata Fellow (IISS Research Fellow for Japanese Security and Defence Policy).<\/p>\n
Japan and the West have leveraged their combined geo-economic power to exert pressure on the Kremlin and the Russian economy. Russia\u2019s weaponisation of its key role in certain commodities markets in retaliation has, however, severely aggravated rises in global prices for energy, food and other commodities. The webinar will discuss the impact of Japan and the West\u2019s sanctions on Russia and consider how these lessons might apply in a Taiwan contingency scenario.<\/p>\n
