What this band means
Strong Protectionism covers 72.5–87.4% Protectionism. Your answers favor Protectionism, with a strong preference in this part of the questionnaire. Protectionism gives greater weight to domestic production, economic self-reliance and measures that shelter national industries. Globalism favors international trade, cross-border integration and fewer barriers to the movement of goods and capital. Trade openness is distinct from cultural openness and from military alliances. Someone can favor international commerce while preferring strict immigration rules or a restrained foreign policy. This band describes the direction and distance of your score from the center, rather than the percentage of people who agree with you. Two people in the same band can still disagree on particular policies. Their remaining eleven axes may also differ substantially. Use the sample statements to identify the trade-offs that produced this part of your result.
