Implications: sanctions don't exist in a vacuum. If the international community wants to empower citizens on the ground, the policy must be paired with a clear, resonant strategy. Without winning the "narrative battle," sanctions might risk silencing the very voices we aim to amplify.
Using a survey experiment in India, I explored what happens when citizens are caught between these two competing stories. The findings suggest that when people are exposed to both messages, sympathy for anti-government protests actually declines, even among government critics.
Sanctions are more than just economic tools; they are narrative battles. While the international community frames them as a "shield" for rights, target governments often characterize them as "foreign interference."
Do human rights sanctions truly protect the people they’re meant to help? Or do they inadvertently make things harder? I’m excited to share my latest article in @journalofgss.bsky.social:

This is awesome! Congratulations, Victor!
