Trade boycotts between countries are a special form of these policy tools. They have been used throughout history to punish or coerce specific behavior among trading partners. An official organized boycott of the Yishuv (pre-state Jewish community in Palestine) was adopted by the Arab League in December 1945, and persisted against Israel after its establishment in 1948.

Boycott campaigns within the Arab world began before New York and Boston boycotted all British goods in August 1768. Philadelphia joined in March 1769, and by that October the boycott spread to New Jersey, Rhode Island and North Carolina.
