Protecting against overseas imports

  • Reducing vulnerability of economies to foreign imports

Implementation

Protection has been used for: maintaining employment; slowing the pace of adjustment; preserving the incomes of certain groups; preserving key industries; supporting new (high technology) industries; using protection as a lever to open markets.

Counter-claim

< In all cases protection has been shown to be ineffective and the problem better addressed in other ways.
