Key Concepts

Protectionism

Protectionism is the strategy of safeguarding domestic industries from foreign competition by implementing trade restrictions such as tariffs, quotas, and subsidies. This approach is used to protect local businesses from being overwhelmed by international competitors and to preserve jobs within the nation.

Infant Industry Argument

The infant industry argument holds that emerging domestic industries need temporary protection from international competition. By implementing trade restrictions, governments allow these industries time to develop, build economies of scale, and enhance their competitive advantages over time.

National Pride and Sentiment

National pride and the emphasis on preserving cultural or economic autonomy can be a driving force behind trade restrictions. This concept reflects a situation where social and political sentiments lead a country to prioritize its own identity and independence, even at the expense of potential economic gains from free trade.

Economic Self-Reliance

Economic self-reliance refers to a nation’s desire to minimize dependence on external economies. Governments may impose trade restrictions to reduce vulnerability to foreign economic fluctuations and to ensure that critical goods and services remain under national control, thereby enhancing national security.
