Model Answer

Starting around 1991, India removed barriers on foreign trade and foreign investment — this is known as liberalisation. The government decided that Indian producers should compete globally, which would improve their quality and performance.

This policy stimulated globalisation in the following ways:

Example: With liberalisation, Chinese toys could enter Indian markets. Indian buyers got more choices at lower prices, while Chinese manufacturers expanded their business — showing how markets of two countries became integrated through trade.

Explanation

Examiners expect three things for 3 marks: (1) definition of liberalisation/1991 policy, (2) at least two effects on trade/investment, and (3) a relevant example. The Chinese toy example is directly from the textbook and is the safest to use. Avoid writing too much — 3 marks = roughly 3 key points. The word "stimulated" in the question is a cue to explain how the policy caused globalisation, not just what globalisation is.
