Desde 2014, con la anexión de Crimea por parte de Rusia y el inicio de las hostilidades en el Donbás, Occidente ha demostrado una solidaridad sin precedentes en la imposición de sanciones a Rusia. No obstante, la respuesta de la región de Asia-Pacífico a la crisis de Ucrania ha sido diferente. Mientras que Japón y Nueva Zelanda aplicaron sanciones simbólicas, Corea del Sur se abstuvo de introducir medida alguna. El objetivo principal de este artículo es explorar la respuesta de la región de Asia-Pacífico a la crisis ucraniana y las motivaciones subyacentes tras este posicionamiento. Partiendo de la perspectiva de la teoría del comportamiento de las alianzas y coordinación de sanciones, este artículo examina la interacción entre los factores domésticos y los internacionales a la hora de determinar la decisión de los estados de (no) unirse a las coaliciones de sanciones internacionales.
