'''Isolationism''' is a usually [[file:Nation.png]] [[Nationalism|nationalist]], [[file:Nonquadrant.png]] [[:Category:Non-Quadrant|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 [[File:Protect.png]] [[Protectionism|Economic Nationalism]] and cultural isolation, as well as with the impossibility of being in permanent [[File:Necon.png]] military alliances [[File:NeoComBall.png]], 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.

The United States of America under President [[File:Coolidge.png]] 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.

'''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. But rejects total cultural isolation and can support free trade and/or peaceful internationalism. Advocates of non-interventionism differ greatly from most isolationists as they can uphold multiculturalism and are sometimes not nationalists.
