Discuss the extent of political change in one western or northern European country (other than France, the Federal Republic of Germany and Spain) between 1945 and 2000.

Candidates are required to offer a considered and balanced review of post-war political changes in their chosen country (please note that this does not include any of the former satellite states of the Soviet Union). Relevant choices could include Britain, post-reunification Germany, Norway or Denmark. Political change can be defined in several ways and responses may focus on constitutional change, changes in the political process (universal suffrage) or the impact of societal change on politics. They may consider the importance of organizations such as trade unions and /or the influence of employers’ organizations on politics. Some candidates may wish to consider the effects of membership of the European Union on domestic politics. In the later period the emergence—or re-emergence—of far-right parties or the development of issue-based parties such as the Greens may be included.
