non-interventionism
Stay home policy
Non-interventionism is a foreign policy stance opposing involvement in other nations' conflicts, alliances, or internal affairs.
The position advocates diplomatic and economic engagement while rejecting military action abroad.
Often confused with isolationism, non-interventionism specifically targets military and political entanglement rather than all international contact: The senator's non-interventionism put him at odds with both parties' foreign policy establishment.
