Sanctions of the EU on Russia: Impact on the Defence Industry

“In general, it should be noted that this topic is of particular interest to political scientists and historians as well as lawyers specialized in international relations. (…) It is the accuracy and the precise sequence of the temporal analyzes, which gives the (…) [work, A/N] the characteristics of an encyclopedia. Meritorious in this context is the very successful, comprehensive and balanced interdisciplinary political and legal presentation of the complex subject. (…) [T]here is no doubt about the balanced interdisciplinarity of the work as well as the comprehensive and conclusive overall presentation of the issue. The comparative analysis of the issue has thus been very successful, as it has taken into account the comparison of the sanctions policies towards the countries of Iran, North-Korea and, in particular, Russia - taking into consideration the US position and the development of different defence industries.” Dr. Gunter Hauser Head of the International Security Unit at the Institute for Strategy and Security Policy of the National Defense Academy in Vienna
