Question

Evaluate the impact of democracy on social policies in two democratic states.

Markscheme

Candidates will make an appraisal of the impact of democracy on social policies in two democratic states, which may or may not be from the same region. While the focus of response must be within the timeframe of this topic, the examples chosen need not be contemporaneous with each other. Candidates may consider the extent of change in the educational system after the establishment, or during the evolution, of democracy. They may address social welfare policies and/or policies towards women and minorities. There may be some crossover into socio-economic policies in candidates’ responses. The examples may be considered separately or a thematic approach may be adopted.
