7short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What are causes?Show answer
Linking causes to the concepts of national interest and power shows examiners you can apply theory, not just narrate events.
What are consequences?Show answer
Organise consequences by type and scale.
What are responses by global actors?Show answer
Evaluate responses actor by actor.
What is reaching a judgement?Show answer
The decisive skill is judgement. Responses were effective at sustaining Ukraine, mobilising condemnation and imposing economic cost, and at relieving humanitarian need. They were limited in ending the conflict, holding Russia legally accountable, and overcoming the structural weakness of a Security Council that a major power can block. A defensible conclusion is that global responses managed and contained the crisis more than they resolved it.
