interventionism
介入主義
解説 Definition
国家が他国の内政や国際問題に積極的に介入すべきだとする政策思想。
Interventionism is the policy or practice of becoming involved in another country’s affairs or in a situation in order to influence it. It is often used in politics and international relations, and can include military, economic, or diplomatic action.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
intervene「間に入る」→ intervention「介入」→ -ism「主義」と段階でつなぐと覚えやすい語です。単なる intervention が一度の介入を指すのに対し、interventionism は「国家は国際問題に積極的に介入すべきだ」という継続的な立場・政策思想。外交では military/economic intervention と一緒に見かけやすく、isolationism「不介入主義」と対比すると記憶に残ります。
Build it in steps: intervene -> intervention -> interventionism. The ending -ism often means a belief or policy, like capitalism or nationalism. It helps to contrast it with isolationism, which is the opposite idea.

interventionism の語源・成り立ち Etymology
intervention に -ism「主義」が付いた語で、ラテン語 intervenire、inter-「間に」+ venire「来る」に由来します。intervene や convene も venire 系で、「間に来て流れを変えるべきだ」という発想がその核です。
Interventionism comes from intervention plus the suffix -ism, meaning a policy, doctrine, or practice. Intervention comes from Latin intervenire, "to come between," from inter- "between" and venire "to come." The word developed from the act of stepping into a situation to the idea that such stepping in is right or necessary; related words include intervene and convene.
