The refusal to have dealings with, for example, a particular state, or to buy some or all of its products. Such acts are intended as a protest against certain of the state\'s policies, and/or as a means of inducing it to change certain of its ways. The concept is now firmly embedded in the practices of the international society; but the term receives relatively little international use, notwithstanding the impeccable political correctitude of its origin - a nineteenth-century protest by Irish people against the refusal of one Captain Boycott to reduce rents. Instead, the same concept is expressed through the use of the term sanctions. See also embargo. |
