Abstract
The development of international economic relations has been significantly shaped by the policy of governments. Acute debates between proponents of free trade and protectionism dating back to the past century burst out from time to time today. These conflicting approaches to foreign trade express the true interests of industrial and agricultural groups in the countries concerned. They, of course, affect world trade and can be illustrated by numerous examples.
