Isolationism is a usually nationalist, non-quadrant ideology, which believes that its nation's interests are the most important, and it wants to keep the affairs of other countries at a distance.

The term "Isolationism" can be interpreted more broadly as a foreign policy of military and political non-interference in international affairs and in the internal affairs of sovereign states, coupled with Economic Nationalism and cultural isolation, as well as with the impossibility of being in permanent military alliances , while maintaining the possibility of participation in temporary military alliances that meet the current interests of the state and in permanent international organizations of a non-military nature.

Variants

Moderate Isolationism

Moderate Isolationism also known as non-interventionism, is a version of isolationism that avoids being involved in most regional alliances, but isn't opposed to international co-operation or involving itself in international organizations.

Total Isolationism

Total Isolationism is a version of isolationism that completely avoids any interaction with the outside world in any context, and is opposed to joining any regional alliance or involving itself in intergovernmental organizations.

Non-Interventionism

Non-Interventionism is a variant of Isolationism that supports a foreign policy that doesn't interfere in the domestic politics and affairs of other countries, mostly for anti-war and anti-imperialist reasons. However, it rejects total cultural isolation and can support free trade, peaceful international cooperation, and/or immigration.

History

USA

The United States of America under President Calvin Coolidge (from 1923 to 1929) was a great example of isolationism. Coolidge was a right-wing libertarian that wanted to shrink the government in many ways, especially by allowing more civil liberties, democracy, and capitalism to flourish. Coolidge also greatly reduced the US military budget to lower the US's impact on the world stage. He also rose tariffs to a MASSIVE extent to protect domestic industry. Basically, he wanted the United States to have an extremely small to non-existent impact on the rest of the world.

Albania

Main article: Hoxhaism

After 1978, the People's Republic of Albania adopted a policy of strict neutrality. By that point, they have already cut ties with the USSR, Yugoslavia and China. Hoxha ordered the border closed and build a lot of bunkers to prevent potential invasions from Yugoslavia and Greece. The peak of isolationism lasted for 7 years. After Hoxha's death, Alia abandoned isolationism and developed a friendly relationship with the West. The last vestiges of isolationism died down after Berisha and his successors solidified the pro-EU and pro-NATO course.

Japan

Between 1641 and 1853, the feudal Tokugawa Shogunate of Japan pursued a policy called Kaikin, which forbade any contact with foreign countries. Despite that, Japan maintained limited trade and diplomatic relations with Imperial China, the Joseon dynasty, and nearby Ryukyu Islands, as well as the Dutch Republic, Japan's only Western trading partner for most of the period.

Korea

Main article: Juche

In the mid-1860s, Regent Heungseon Daewongun, father of Emperor Gojong, pursued a policy of strict foreign policy isolation as he strengthened the army and began to equip it with the latest Japanese weapons, reorganized the military system, transformed the coast guard. The policy of isolation has strengthened Korean patriotism and protected their culture. Heungseon Daewongun was able to protect Joseon from cultural imperialism and westernization and thus protect Korea's heritage from it. He also wanted to avoid engaging with the West, which would have been inevitable if Western countries had been allowed to trade freely, as this would have worsened the state's influence.

Modern-day Korean isolationism exists within the borders of North Korea and their Juche ideology which promotes strict autarky. Despite this, they are not neutral and take the pro-east side, having favorable relationships with Russia, Iran and China.

Paraguay

Switzerland

Turkmenistan
