The correct answer is: "protectionism".

Protectionism is a manner of designing foreign trade economic policies that consists on imposing trade barriers (tariffs, quotas, etc) on imports, so that products from other countries cannot compete in equal conditions with national products and services. This process is opposite to liberalism or to the establishment of free markets and trade agreements.
