BLANCAS, María. THAAD Controversy in South Korea: Beyond Sanctions. Méx.cuenca pac [online]. 2022, vol.11, n.31, pp.25-40. Epub 07-Mar-2022. ISSN 2007-5308. https://doi.org/10.32870/mycp.v11i31.755.
This article aims at exploring how China has been using its economic instruments (in this context, trade relations with other countries) as a foreign policy tool, where China expects to exert pressure on an objective whenever its interests are threatened. This article uses a mixed method approach with primary sources such as media and government reports (qualitative) and economic indicators (quantitative) to prove that the concept of sanctions is not solely limited to the traditional blockades. Evidence shows that economic statecraft has widened the fields of foreign policy analysis and international relations by modifying the concept of sanctions ordered or imposed by the United Nations or the United State, as economic statecraft can be imposed unilaterally through multiple alternatives. South Korea is a clear example after it was subject to economic pressure from China in 2017 resulting from their decision to deploy the THAAD missile system.
