Over the past few years there has been a number of talks of global economic and trade sanctions on countries. Sanctions are often results of cultural/social differences, such as human rights, or political/legal differences such as military actions, intellectual property infringement, and country-boarder disputes. The purpose of sanctions is vast; however, a common goal is to influence the behavior of others. Examples include western sanctions on Venezuela, Russia, Iran and North Korea, and increased tariffs on goods with China.
