Applying economic boycott
Description
Applying economic boycott involves the organized refusal to purchase, trade with, or otherwise financially support targeted entities—such as companies, industries, or countries—in order to exert pressure for change. This strategy aims to remedy specific problems, such as unethical practices or human rights violations, by leveraging collective consumer or stakeholder power to inflict economic loss, thereby incentivizing the targeted party to alter objectionable behaviors or policies.
