Introduction

Boycotting is a form of protest where people refuse to buy products from a particular business or country. The aim is to cause the target to lose money, forcing them to make meaningful changes so that consumers will re-engage.

Presented by writers and academics, the BBC's Analysis podcast investigates how public policy is formed and influenced in the UK and abroad.

On this episode from June 2023, journalist David Baker asks professors, activists, and PR and marketing experts whether boycotts are an effective way to push for change.
