Isolationism (political theory)

Isolationism is a foreign policy approach where a country chooses to minimize its involvement in international affairs, focusing instead on internal issues. It involves avoiding alliances, military conflicts, and diplomatic engagements with other countries to preserve sovereignty and stability. Historically, nations adopt isolationism to prevent entanglements that might lead to war or economic strain, prioritizing self-sufficiency and national interests. While it can promote peace and independence, it may also limit influence and cooperation in global matters.
