no idea but I have seen past dmc where people were quoting that theoretical application is necessary.In second paper I couldn't find any question that involved anything other than general discussion except for that question of liberal institutionalism.

Those all questions from paper 2 were from Nuclear Proliferation, India Pakistan Relations, and Theories of Peace and War. Terrorism also has a theoritical perspective. It was theoretical, analytical, and policy oriented. Such papers are difficult most to attempt.
