Autarchy in context

Autarky or autarchy refers to a nation that operates in a state of self-reliance. Nations that follow a policy of autarky are characterized by self-sufficiency and limited trade with global partners. The definition of autarchy comes from the Greek—autos, meaning “self” and arkein, meaning “to ward off” and “to be strong enough, to suffice.” A fully autarchic nation would be a closed economy and lacking any sources of external support, trade or aid.
