economic (trade) sanctions. It also explores interactions between the framing of
environmental and natural resource extraction policies, rent-seeking and corruption and deals
with institutions (autocracy versus democracy) and new forms of conflict and cooperation
such as mass protest, sectarian violence, civilizational conflict, diplomacy by NGOs
(including businesses) and regional economic integration in Africa.
(b) At the macrolevel the research targets the determinants of successes and failures of
economic sanctions, shifts in geoeconomic and geopolitical gravity and their impact on
economic governance and the conflict mitigating effects of trade and fiscal decentralization. It
looks at what specific types of natural resource abundance and trade dependence retards
growth and examines applications of the Liberal Peace, that is the idea that commerce and
common polity lower the frequency of conflict.
