In development studies, statism means the direction and control of economic and social affairs by the state. The practices included: investment in public enterprises; centralized economic planning; the regulation of employment; and other price-distorting interventions in the market. The economic aims are to promote industrialization and protection against foreign competition; politically, the state and the government might gain in domestic legitimacy. Inspired more by nationalism than by socialism, statism is compatible with state capitalism. Since 1980 statism has been challenged by economic liberalism and structural adjustment reforms. Statism is also referred to as dirigisme and étatisme. France and Japan were classic statist examples.

Statism (or etatism) is a term that may refer to either one or both of the following:
- A major government role in the direction of the economy, both directly through state-owned enterprises and indirectly through the central planning of the overall economy.[1][2]
- A political viewpoint "that sovereignty is vested not in the people but in the national state, and that all individuals and associations exist only to enhance the power, the prestige, and the well-being of the state. The fascist concept of statism repudiates individualism and exalts the nation as an organic body headed by the Supreme Leader and nurtured by unity, force, and discipline."[3]
Economic statism in practice
Definition: Concentration of economic controls and planning in the hands of a highly centralized government often extending to government ownership of industry.
Statism reached its highest point in the centrally planned fascist and communist countries, but exists in varying degrees throughout the world.[4]
