Congratulations to Lingbo Zhao on the publication of her article, “Global Value Chains and Corporate Opposition to Sanctions,” in International Studies Quarterly. The study shows how U.S. firms’ international economic ties shape their lobbying against sanctions, particularly when sanctions threaten their global value chains, investments, and trade. Using data on U.S. lobbying over proposed sanctions on Russia (2014–2022), Zhao demonstrates how private sector interests influence foreign policy decisions.
Lingbo is on the job market this year. Read more about her research here: https://lingbozhao.github.io/.
