Answer to Question 1

Historically, IS was enforced when developing countries were shut out of world markets. For IS to be effective today would require a consistent set of policies and a willingness to abandon protection when an industry either matured or showed that it could not. If this were possible it could contribute to an economy's ability to learn, adapt, and advance with less reliance on outside help.
