Dependent Economy
Economy heavily reliant on specific products/markets/countries.
Real World
Zambia's economy is heavily dependent on copper exports; when global copper prices collapsed in 2015, GDP growth fell sharply, demonstrating how commodity dependence creates extreme vulnerability to external price shocks.
Exam Focus
Always identify the specific dependency (commodity, country, or sector) before assessing vulnerability — vague answers lose marks on 'assess' questions.
