economic boycott
Organized purchasing ban
An economic boycott is a coordinated refusal to buy from, sell to, or otherwise do business with a person, company, or country, intended to punish or pressure them into changing their behavior.
The tactic ranges from consumers avoiding a brand the economic boycott of apartheid South Africa to nations imposing trade restrictions.
Unlike sanctions, which are government-imposed, boycotts are typically organized by private groups or individuals.
