Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to evaluate the proliferation of protectionist policies after the economic crisis of 2008–2009. The spread of protectionism is to be expected in times of recession. The paper presents the use of both traditional trade barriers (tariffs and other border measures) as well as regulatory barriers (behind-the-border measures) in 2009–2017. The lack of progress in multilateral trade negotiations and stagnation in the development of regional trade agreements are also indicated as specific manifestations of a protectionist approach to trade policy.
