International Political Economy
Tariffs are taxes imposed by a government on imported goods and services, designed to raise revenue and protect domestic industries from foreign competition. They can influence international trade patterns by making imported products more expensive, which can lead to an increase in the consumption of domestic alternatives. Tariffs are a key tool in trade policy, often used as a barrier to trade and can be part of larger agreements between countries aimed at regulating trade relationships.
