The purpose of this study is to verify the practical validity of financial sanctions, which has recently emerged as the most powerful form of economic sanctions preferred by U.S. foreign policy tool. Based on the theoretical discussion, analyse this study the trend of de-dollarization appearing in connection with financial sanctions and argue that the effectiveness of financial sanctions erode the dollar financial hegemony, which is the source of its power can be degraded, so that its effectiveness could not be so great as most people likely think about. After World War II, there has been an increasing tendency in the international community to favor economic sanctions over the use of military force as an effective means of foreign policy. Among these economic sanctions, a distinct feature that has recently appeared is the remarkable increase in the frequency of use of financial sanctions. The country that favors financial sanctions most is the United States. The reason is that they believe that the power of their own dollar financial hegemony can exert deadly pressure on other countries. Financial sanctions favored by the United States are said to have increased the effectiveness of sanctions by upgrading the pressure of sanctions to the next level. Nevertheless, financial sanctions have a side that underestimates the cost. This problem is found in the signs that the backlash from not only countries subject to financial sanctions but also many countries with interests in these countries is leading to a tendency to de-dollarization. This study will try to see how likely this de-dollarization trend is to offset the effectiveness of financial sanctions.

경제협력개발기구(OECD)에 따르면 1993년 2천5백억달러 규모였던 세계환경기술시장은 2000년에는 6천억달러 규모로 성장할 전망이다. 세계의 주요 국가들과 기업들은 이 방대한 시장에서 패권을 잡기 위해 연구개발에 막대한 인력과 돈을 서슴치 않고 투자하고 있다. 오염물질방출의 기회를 근본적으로 차단하는 금속용융기술(MMT)을 비롯하여 최근 개발된 일련의 첨단 환경기술을 알아 본다.
