Economic stagnation in Europe and elsewhere, as well as the rise of China and other Asian economies, prompts countries to resort to protectionism as a means of defending domestic markets (The gridlocked Doha trade round speaks for itself).
Ekonomska stagnacija u Evropi i drugde, kao i uspon kineske ekonomije i ekonomija drugih azijskih zemalja, nagnala je Evropu da posegne za protekcionizmom radi zaštite domaćeg tržišta (ćorsokak pregovora u Dohi govori sam za sebe).
