"Isolationism is a foreign policy which combines a non-interventionist military and political policy with a policy of economic nationalism (protectionism). In other words, it asserts both of the following: 1. Political rulers should avoid entangling alliances with other nations and avoid all wars not related to direct territorial self-defense. 2. There should be legal barriers to prevent trade and cultural exchange with people in other states. The term "isolationism" was coined by military interventionists as a pejorative term during World War I to refer to people who opposed the United States' entry into that war. "Isolationism" is often misused to refer to non-interventionism in general, rather than non-intervention conjoined with economic nationalism." en.wikipedia.org
