According to the strictly logical reasoning of the Article 7 TEU the simple answer is yes. Sanctions are justifiable. However, with the implications of normative European integration theory the answer is more intricate. Nevertheless the ideologies of cosmopolitanism, statism and demoicracy leads to the same conclusion. Sanctions should be seen as justifiable. (Less)
