Answer to Question 1

This strategy gained popularity throughout the 1950s because, at this time, most developing nations exported agricultural and mineral products-goods that often faced very unstable international market conditions. Moreover, the terms of trade for these nations seemed to be headed on a long-term decline. When a country experiences a decline in its terms of trade, its imports become relatively more expensive in its domestic market, whereas its exports become less expensive in the world market. As a result of these conditions, by the 1950s import-substitutions policies started gaining prominence.

B
