Winning the Race of the Red Queen: Economic Warfare in the Twenty-First Century

Grant Year: 2023


Peter Doran will research and write a monograph exploring how the United States can most effectively engage in economic warfare with its adversaries. He will investigate the measures that Iran and Russia have used to evade U.S. sanctions, determine the degree to which those regimes are learning from each other’s sanctions-evasion successes, and assess how the United States can recapture an edge in economic warfare.
