关税保护
幼稚产业论认为新兴的国内产业需要关税保护来发展自己。对稚嫩的国内公司进行暂时保护可以使其避开与国外公司的严酷竞争，从而给幼稚产业一个发展壮大的机会。
这一保护论是基于自由贸易中一种假象的例外情况，即面对成熟的国外竞争，所有的产业从来没有，而且将来不会有机会在规模和效率上进行长远的调整，因此对幼稚产业的关税保护会改变目前世界资源分配不当的状况。 相反的观点认为，尽管幼稚产业论在逻辑上有一定的说服力，但下列言之有理的几个论点也值得注意： 1发达国家，很难确定哪些幼稚产业有发展前途因而值得保护。 2幼稚产业成熟起来后关税保护也很难消除。
3大多数经济学家认为有比关税保护更好的办法来资助幼稚产业。例如，直接补贴就可以清楚地表示那些幼稚产业在接受帮助，这种帮助达到了什么程度。
今年来幼稚产业论在一些经济发达国家已经改变了形式。这一观点认为政府应该战略性地使用贸易壁垒来减少国内公司在产品开发方面承担的风险，尤其足涉及先进技术的产品。按照这一观点，国内公司因避开了国外竞
争会迅速成长起来，其经济发展规模会大大超过未受保护的情形。这样，受保护的公司最终会因其低廉的成本控制世界市场。对世界市场的控制让使国内公司为本国带来高额利润的回报，据称这些利润会超过因贸易壁垒而造成的损失。这一理论还认为，高技术产业的专业化也会带来益处，因为在一种国内产业中取得的技术进步常常会转化到国内其他产业中去。
日本和韩国因推行这种战略贸易政策而备受指责。这一策略以及关税保护论带来的问题是：受到战略性贸易政策影响而处于不利地位的国家会相应提高自己的关税进行报复。随之而来的结果便是世界范围的关税增长，世界贸易的消减，专业化与商品交换利益的丧失。
