Our sample includes 44 countries experienced internationalsanctions over the period 1976-2014. According to the results, the sanctions significantly increase the externaldebt of the target country. Moreover, if the targeted countries increase government expenditures against thesesanctions, it is seen that the tendency of these sanctions to increase external debt is lower in sanctioned periods.Adding to these, the effect of the type of regime in targeted countries on external debt varies according to thestate of government expenditures.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTarihİşletmeKamu YönetimiCoğrafyaHalkla İlişkilerİktisatPsikolojiUluslararası İlişkilerArticle182662673323045
