Answer 1

The economic mission that visited Colombia from July to November 1949 was from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), commonly known as the World Bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

The institution whose economic mission visited Colombia during July to November, 1949, as described in Arturo Escobar's journal article 'Power and Visibility', was the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), which is also known as the World Bank.

After the Bretton Woods Conference towards the end of World War II, two pivotal international financial institutions were founded: the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. The World Bank's primary role was to aid in the reconstruction of countries devastated by the war, but it quickly pivoted to funding development projects globally once the Marshall Plan took over European reconstruction. In 1948, the World Bank issued its first loan to a non-European country, Chile, marking the beginning of its expansion into global development financing, which led to its economic mission in Colombia the following year.
