Answer 1

After the western countries developed themselves by using the World Bank and IMF , the former colonies of western countries such as Africa , Asian countries could not keep up pace with the fast growth of the western countries , so they organized themselves into G-77 (Group of 77 countries) to protest against the domination of countries like USA and Japan in the world bank.

It is a negative reaction to the Bretton Woods institutions as they were only designed to meet the financial needs of the industrial countries.

Answer 2

Answer:

After the Second World War, many parts of the world were still under European colonial rule and It took over two decades for the colonies in Asia and Africa to become free independent nations. When they became free, they faced many other problems such as poverty, lack of resources, etc. Economies and societies were handicapped for being under colonial rule for long periods.

As colonies, many of the less developed regions of the world had been part of Western empires. The policy of the Bretton Woods twins tilted more in favour of the developed nations of the Western world. Now, ironically, as newly independent countries facing urgent pressures to lift their populations out of poverty, they came under the guidance of international agencies dominated by the former colonial powers.

Therefore these colonies organised themselves as a group – the Group of 77 (or G-77) – to demand a new international economic order (NIEO). By the NIEO they meant a system that would give them real control over their natural resources, more development assistance, fairer prices for raw materials, and better access for their manufactured goods in developed countries’ markets.
