	The direction of the development of contemporary trade policy and the criticism of the traditional concept of protectionism together with the economic crisis that began in 2008 resulted in a significant change in the global approach to the problem of protectionism. The aim of this article is to determine the main motives of protectionist practices in contemporary international trade, as well as to identify the desired direction of their development. To achieve this aim the author explained the consequences of the process of globalization for the international environment and analysed the arguments for protectionism, i.e., strategic trade policy and industrial policy. The author studied both Polish and foreign literature and official documents regarding protectionist practices.
