“…Ahmadinejad's promise proved to be little more than rhetoric (Bagheri Dolatabadi & Zarei, 2018, p. 61). Likewise, not much emerged from the 2014 maritime accord or the November 2016 pledge on military cooperation (Bazoobandi, 2015, p. 12). Most stark has been the 2016 ‘Comprehensive 25‐year Plan’.…”

Sino-Iranian relations are transactional, asymmetrical, and constrained by divergent interests and priorities. Iran's isolation and depressed economy make it a risky if inexpensive investment for Beijing, whereas Iranian critics view China as self-serving and opportunistic. Although stability and cooperation are integral to China's Middle East strategy, Iran is a revisionist actor that promotes regional dissonance and instability. These intrinsic tensions do not detract from an important but less palpable dimension of Sino-Iranian relations: By deliberately cultivating an air of ambiguity around their cooperation and its future prospects, both countries have been exploiting their bilateral ties as leverage with third parties.

“…Other researches have concentrated on target countries that have a long history of political conflict with the USA and the EU. Vast studies considered the effects of sanctions on the Iranian economy in different time periods such as Aghazadeh (2014), Bazoobandi (2015) and Borszik (2016). The main results of these three papers concluded and confirmed that western sanctions on Iran have a significant impact of on Iran’s trade flow, diverting the trade to China, and the Iranian system has gradually become immune against the economic sanctions.…”

Since the outbreak of the Syrian crisis in March 2011, the USA, European Union, Arab League and several other regulatory entities imposed negative economic sanctions on Syria—some of the most comprehensive ever implemented. This article first provides an assessment of Syrian foreign trade sector during the reform period of the 2000s and its impact on economic growth. Second, it estimates the impact of sanctions and conflict on the trade sector of the Syrian economy. The analysis is conducted using a panel-gravity model between Syria and 78 trading partners (1987–2017). Multilateral sanctions and conflict-related disruptions demonstrate a large significant negative impact on Syria-bilateral trade flow by 65 per cent. We attempt to find out whether the Syrian economy was able to divert trade away from Europe and/or conduct de-Europeanisation. Findings confirm that the Syrian economy was unable to divert trade flow to Asian and other countries due to the conflict-related congestion and distance factor. JEL: C33, F10

Bazoobandi (2015) investigated the effects of sanctions on Sino-Iranian relations. The results depicted that the western sanctions were the driving force behind the development of various aspects of the relations between Iran and China.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to find out whether under sanctions, Iran’s trade direction has shifted from Europe (trade policy of de-Europeanization) toward Asia (trade policy of Asianization). Design/methodology/approach The paper conducts three panel data estimations (FE, RE, and FMOLS) based on the gravity model approach for bilateral trade patterns between Iran-25 EU members and Iran-25 Asian countries over the period 2006-2013. Findings The empirical evidence indicates a significant negative effect of sanctions on Iran-EU bilateral trade, while it has a positive impact on trade between Iran and the Asian countries. These findings empirically confirmed that the imposition of various sanctions related to the Iran’s nuclear program has pushed the foreign trade policy of this country toward Asianization and away from Europeanization. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first attempt to examine the Iran’s trade policy changing under the imposition of sanctions related to its nuclear program.
