This article examines public support for international sanctions imposed by the European Union (EU) against Russia in response to the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Three potential drivers of public…
The Wartime Justification Trajectory
This article proposes a new framework, the “wartime justification trajectory,” for understanding how military interventions are justified and contested over time. Rather than treating legitimacy as something decided only at the start of a war, the model views it as a shifting process shaped by events on the ground, political rhetoric, and public reaction. The wartime justification trajectory outlines four phases—initial justification, conflict dy…
