Protectionism in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, protectionism is: a climate of economic policy formulation which sees merit in preventing the exposure of domestic producers to the rigours of the international market. The basic means for achieving this are tariffs, subsidies, voluntary restraint arrangements and other non-tariff measures, with an emphasis on the less transparent measures. More complex cases can involve alleged cultural, environmental and other considerations. Protectionism can also be promoted through the vigorous use of contingent protection. The entries on trade policy are here. In most cases, protectionism merely delays the inevitable adjustment of inefficient industries to the market. See also cultural identity, structural adjustment and trade and environment.[1]
