The Global Santion Database (GSDB)
The Global Sanctions Data Base (GSDB) is a public good that was created in response to demand by scholars and institutions for the study of sanctions in various fields such as economics and political science.
The Global Sanctions Data Base (GSDB) is a comprehensive dataset that documents economic sanctions worldwide from 1950 to 2023. It encompasses bilateral and multilateral sanctions, detailing their types, political objectives, and degrees of success. The GSDB has undergone multiple updates to enhance its scope. The latest release, GSDB-R4, extends coverage to the end of 2023, incorporating 223 new sanctions cases, for a total of 1,547 cases. The GSDB is a public good, its initial development and maintenance took a substantial long-term effort by a number of us. Accordingly, in return for that effort, we expect two things from all users of the GSDB. First, if you use the GSDB please cite the latter papers. Second, if you detect an error in the dataset, please inform us as soon as possible.
