Q.8- Is globalization under threat because of world economic crises?
Took a very different approach. I was looking at a perspired David Cameron of EU and my tone was set for this question, after some 20 minutes somebody reminded me of 5 minutes left and an abortive culmination happened.

That depends. Law is "scoring" as per tradition but the way examiners are coming out of blue this time, it doesn't matter. The questions not only for IR but also for previous papers were very analytical and required a command of subject. So if you think you know the have grasp of international relations theory and you could justify your answers through history, theory and examples, you are good to go.

I think 18 was "deterrence". The option was given. Also, Pressler amendment was in 1990, that is right after the Afghan-Soviet war ended.

Got it from the internet:
Deterrence is then no more than “an attempt to frighten the adversary into inaction.”

Also, did anyone attempt the last question? I related it to the Greek-Spanish economic crisis of 2011 and it's effects on EU and Germany, in particular. And made an analysis about how it's increasing nationalism, and discouraging regional blocs and hence, decreasing globalization.
Does it sound okay?

I attempted that and I took nearly the same approach. Linked it to the Eurozone crisis, then Britain's position..Gave the reference of David Cameron and then proved that it is taking a dimension of increased nationalism, harming the regional blocs and thus threatening globalization. I hope its correct. quite uncertain about it.
