PART A

Answer ALL questions

QUESTION 1

“An alliance is a coalition of states that coordinate their actions to accomplish some
end. Most alliances are formalized in written treaties, concern a common threat and
related issues of international security, and endure across a range of issues and a
period of time.”

(Goldstein & Pevehouse, 2017: 54)

Based the statement above, discuss any FOUR (4) benefits of alliances in International
Security.

(25 marks)

QUESTION 2

“Many different activities are covered by the general term war. Consequently, it is not
easy to say how many wars are going on in the world at the moment. But most lists of
wars set some minimum criteria—for instance, a minimum of a thousand battle
deaths—to distinguish war from lower-level violence such as violent strikes or riots.”.

(Goldstein & Pevehouse, 2017: 129)

Analyze any FOUR (4) causes of war and provide evidence to support your every
point.

(25 marks)

QUESTION 3

“International law, unlike national laws, derives not from actions of a legislative branch
or other central authority but from tradition and agreements signed by states. It also
differs in the difficulty of enforcement, which depends not on the power and authority of
central government.”
(Goldstein & Pevehouse, 2017: 216)

Discuss FOUR (4) points in the context of effectiveness of international law in the
international system.
