This thesis examines the effectiveness of the Arab Boycott
of Israel from an economic and a political perspective. This
study covers the Arab boycott from 1946 until 1990. It
demonstrates that economically and politically, the Arab
boycott had three distinct phases. The first of these was the
period from the declaration of the Arab boycott in 1946 until
the 1973 War. The second phase took place between the 1973
War and the 1979 peace agreement between Israel and Egypt.
The third phase began with the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace
agreement and ends in 1990. This study suggests that the
boycott was most effective when supported by the threat of an
oil embargo in effect between 1973 and 1979. U.S. actions against the Arab boycott were also effective. Finally, this
thesis contends that the 1979 peace agreement between Israel
and Egypt brought frustration to those who expected that
Israel's trade with such a close and large country as Egypt
would open a huge trade market. In sum, the Arab boycott did
not succeed in destroying Israel's economy, as was its
declared intention.
