    Default Question about Political Terminology

    Although not related specifically to Socialism, I was wondering whether or not there is a term out there to define a distinct lack of action in regards to foreign policy (similar to the nationalistic "nation goes first"), but without a zealous love of one's country that could lead to delusion or bigotry?

    The reason I ask, ofcourse, is after being inspired by the works of Mark Curtis and John Pilger of revealing Britain's appalling foreign policy currently, I've adapted my political beliefs to remaining in opposition of significant attempts of international interference (especially, as a pacifist, in regards to war - seeing Iceland's military forces and military spending as ideal). While, in my belief, countries should be condemned for their human rights etc. abuses, I'm against the concept that further action should be taken - and criticise the UN for allowing select members control over most legislation (via veto).
