Protectionism

Definition of 'Protectionism'

The theory that restricting international trade is a good thing.

For example, if a close country can manufacture goods, or produce crops considerably cheaper, then industries are threatened.

Therefore import duties and restrictions on amounts allowed to be imported support the local industries.
