Any Predictions for 30 markers

Having looked at last years advanced spec I am willing to bet money there will be 30 markers on political global gov and power and development this year:

So revise NATO, UNSC, UNGA, ECOSOC and then democratic, autocratic states etc... and also look at polarities such as hegemony and unipolar worlds and how the world maybe bipolar or multipolar.

regime type came up as a 12 mark last year so i wouldnt focus too much on that- or focus instead on the differing views over whether regime type affects world order

I would personally go through it in order, and by that I mean each UN body individually and then think of strengths and weaknesses for them. So straight away there's the UNSC with the power of veto, etc. Another good example I'm planning on using is the ICJ failing to force Russia to withdraw from Ukraine despite ruling in Ukraine's favour (in a contentious case!)

Do you think the likelihood of them asking anarchail society is a real possibility

Has anyone got any points for and against the view that multipolarity encourages peace and stability? I am struggling to get more than a couple.

Yh, im fine for everything bar HI's, there kinda bad.

Imagine a question on if the US is hegemonic, I think I would cry of joy, I also think it possible as that is part of power and development and loads of teachers complained last year that the global questions were too hard, so they will be easier this year.

Mainly liberal complex interdependence and to a degree democratic peace thesis.
