interventionism
Policy of involvement
Interventionism is a policy or doctrine favoring active involvement in the affairs of other nations or groups, especially through military, economic, or political means.
The term typically appears in foreign policy debates: The administration's interventionism led to military action in three countries.
It contrasts with isolationism, which favors non-involvement.
Interventionism can also describe government involvement in domestic markets or private affairs.
