Protectionism

Agree

Yes

Protectionism as an ideology primarily focuses on shielding a country's domestic industries from foreign competition through tariffs, quotas, and other trade barriers. While it doesn't directly deal with public health or consumer protection policies, proponents of protectionism might support government intervention in the market to protect citizens from harmful products, viewing it as an extension of safeguarding the national interest. This perspective aligns with the broader protectionist view that government should play a significant role in regulating the economy and protecting citizens from external harms, including those related to health. However, the score is not higher because the primary focus of protectionism is on economic competition rather than public health.

Disagree

No

Although protectionism emphasizes government intervention in the economy, its main concern is protecting domestic industries from foreign competition, not necessarily regulating what products can be promoted within the country. Therefore, a strict protectionist might argue that banning the promotion of certain products, like vaping and junk food, is outside the scope of protectionism's primary goals. However, if foreign companies dominate these markets, a protectionist might see value in such bans as a way to indirectly protect domestic producers of alternative, healthier products. The negative score reflects a nuanced disagreement, acknowledging that while protectionism supports government intervention, its focus is more on economic protection than public health regulation.
