		The word boycott entered the English language during the Irish "Land War" and is derived from the name of Captain Charles Boycott, the estate agent of an absentee landlord, the Earl Erne, in County Mayo, Ireland who was subject to social ostracism organized by the Irish Land League in 1880.
		When extended for a long period of time, or as part of an overall program of awareness-raising or reforms to laws or regimes, a boycott is part of moral purchasing, and those economic or political terms are to be preferred.
		Another example of a modern boycott is the fllisting of the country band The Dixie Chicks after one of the members made a derogatory political comment about George W. Bush.

	LINGUIST List 14.1140: Academic Boycotts
		Subject: Academic boycotts and OT Dick Hudson suggests that the concern for academic freedom on one hand and the right to engage in academic boycotts on the other be construed as competing defeasible constraints in an OT system.
		Hi all Since the idea of the boycott is to express one's disagreement with a regime, why not boycott any governement/intitution related aspects of the individual and not the individual in particular.
		And, of course, the list of countries in the world which engage in what might be considered "offensive politics" is enormous.

	Boycott Watch - Divest-from-Israel Campaigns May Violate the Federal Antiboycott Law (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Boycott Watch and the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) are leading the fight against divestment and boycott campaigns against Israel.
		In November 2003, Boycott Watch sent a letter to the Office of Antiboycott Compliance, furnishing evidence that the divest-from-Israel campaign is a direct function of the Palestinian Authority, which is a member of the Arab League and a signatory to the Arab boycott of Israel.
		Boycott Watch is now advising all colleges and universities that divest-from-Israel campaigns on their campuses may be in violation of the U.S. antiboycott law.

	AAUP: Academic Boycotts
		The plans for the conference in Bellagio, Italy, on academic boycotts to which he refers, which I learned about early in February, by no means suggested that its central purpose was to denounce academic boycotts.
		In a scholarly conference “whose central purpose was to denounce academic boycotts,” one would expect to find several contributions from philosophers and several from natural scientists: any academic boycott would have a particular impact on scientists, who rely on unhampered exchange of materials, methods, and information.
		It should be clear from her account that the conference was not aimed at "denouncing” academic boycotts (as Yudkin asserts), but at discussing the pros and cons of the AAUP position, with an eye not to changing it, but to hearing from the critics and to clarifying the nature of the debate.

	Boycott kickstarts ‘us and them’ Labour Party campaign
		The Labour party’s decision to boycott ‘Bondi +’ and Xarabank mark the latest in a long list of political boycotts which have seen PN activists stay away from Super one and MLP representatives turn down invitations from NET TV.
		The MLP boycott puts to rest the denial game adopted by a number of Labour party exponents who dropped their participation from the annual charity programme Istrina last month.
		Alfred Mifsud is considered by many outside observers as one of the moderates in the Labour party and his presence on the MLP ticket in the next election is expected to attract middle of the road voters.

		To the best of my knowledge previous boycotts, including the anti-apartheid boycott, did not target individual scholars with a view to dismissing them from editorial boards, preventing their attendance at conferences, refusing to consider articles that they submit to journals for publication, etc.
		None of the LSA boycotts against American states that engage in objectionable practises have sought to exclude academics from those states from participating in normal academic life.
