ABSTRACT In the post-war world, India was one of the most protectionist countries. Protectionism originated in British colonial measures to design an industrialization policy in the 1920s. Whereas in the 1920s, protection was applied with discrimination, after independence in 1947, protection was offered without discrimination. The paper explains how this transformation came into being. It rejects the hypothesis now current that discriminating protection was dropped because it was a weak policy, and suggests instead that the aspirations of nationalistic businesses played a role.

印度进口替代工业化的起源

摘要在战后世界中，印度是保护主义程度最高的国家之一。保护主义起源于1920年代英国设计工业化政策的殖民措施。在1920年代，保护是有歧视的，而1947年独立后，保护是没有歧视的。本文解释了这种转变是如何产生的。它拒绝了目前的假设，即歧视性保护是一项脆弱的政策，因此放弃了保护性保护，而是暗示民族主义企业的抱负起了作用。
