"Restraint" is the name of an American grand strategy.

Origin of restraint
Eugene Gholz, Daryl G. Press, and Harvey M. Sapolsky are credited with the origin of the term restraint. In 1997, the three published "Come Home, America: The Strategy of Restraint in the Face of Temptation" in International Security. The three men were "think(ing) about what type of grand strategy would be appropriate for the U.S. in the new post-Cold War world." Their article, "Come Home, America," argued against continuing to follow the "activist foreign policy" of the Cold War, instead suggesting that the U.S. return "to America's traditional and Washingtonian approach of noninterventionism."
