01 1 Explain how trade agreements are a factor in globalisation.
Point marked
Allow 1 mark per valid point with extra mark(s) for developed points (d).
For example:
Notes for answers
Allow credit for specific knowledge and understanding of what trade
agreements are and how they lead to globalisation. Candidates may
also consider that trade agreements have occurred as a result of
globalisation.
• Trade agreements are formed by countries joining together to form a
trade bloc that encourages trade between themselves and promotes
economic co-operation (1), for example NAFTA (1) (d).
• Trade agreements are a factor in globalisation by encouraging trade
across a number of countries. This may lead to increased investment
from other countries (1) for example Audi has built a factory in Mexico
in order to gain access to other NAFTA countries (1).
• Trade agreements can lead to people moving more freely to seek work
in the trading bloc (1). This encourages globalisation by increasing
links between countries as often supporting goods and services will
follow (1) (d).
• Bilateral agreements allow trade between two countries and can
therefore enable greater flow of goods and labour between the two
countries (1).
• Without trade agreement some countries wouldn’t trade with others
(1). Therefore, agreements such as the WTO which covers trade in
goods, services and designs (1) (d) help trade flow freely by providing
a forum for negotiations encouraging trade across the globe (1) (d).
• However, it can also be argued that trade agreements are necessary
because of globalisation (1). Countries need to act as bloc to be able
to negotiate on a global scale due to unequal power (1) (d).
The notes for answers are not exhaustive. Credit any valid points.
Credit given for how lack of agreements, e.g. quotas and tariffs, will act
against globalisation.

01 2 Analyse the data shown in Figure 1.
AO3 – Analysis of the infographic to show patterns of world trade for the
global leading exporters.
Mark scheme
Level 2 (4–6 marks)
AO3 – Clear analysis of the quantitative and qualitative evidence
provided which makes appropriate use of data to support. Clear
connections between different aspects of the data.
Level 1 (1–3 marks)
AO3 – Basic analysis of the quantitative and qualitative evidence
provided which makes limited use of data to support. Basic or limited
connections between different aspects of the data.
Notes for answers
This question requires analysis of the patterns of trade shown by the trip
lines. There should be analysis of the patterns of imports and exports.
AO3
Most regions tend to predominantly trade with their nearest neighbours.
For example, the US mainly trades with Canada and Mexico.
• This is particularly the case for exports. In Germany over 75% of its
exports are within Europe. Nearly all of Mexico’s exports appear to be
going to the USA.
• However, some countries do not follow this pattern and exports are
sent further away. China exports goods all over the world. Saudi
Arabia also has a much broader range of export destinations.
• In respect of the trading relationships shown it appears that most
countries appear to import more than they export. This might be linked
to the large surplus of exports over imports indicated for a few
countries such as China and Saudi Arabia.
• Most countries tend to more diverse in the origin of imports. For
example, the Netherlands receive products from across the globe,
having flow lines from all the regions except Australasia. Australasia
only exports to Asia Pacific and China.
• Volume of trade is much greater amongst the HICs and China.
• They may note that only leading trade partners are shown, for example
no African countries are shown.
Credit any other valid analysis.

01 3 Using Figure 2 and your own knowledge, to what extent do you
agree that the UN is able to promote development?
AO1 – Knowledge and understanding of the attempts by the UN to
promote development.
AO2 – Applies knowledge and understanding to the novel situation to
analyse and evaluate the extent to which the UN has been successful in
promoting development.
Mark scheme
Level 2 (4–6 marks)
AO1 – Demonstrates clear knowledge and understanding of concepts,
processes, interactions and change.
AO2 – Applies knowledge and understanding to the novel situation
offering clear analysis and evaluation drawn appropriately from the
context provided. Connections and relationships between different
aspects of study are evident with clear relevance.
Level 1 (1–3 marks)
AO1 – Demonstrates basic knowledge and understanding of concepts,
processes, interactions, change.
AO2 – Applies limited knowledge and understanding to the novel
situation offering basic analysis and evaluation drawn from the context
provided. Connections and relationships between different aspects of
study are basic with limited relevance.
Notes for answers
This question requires knowledge of the UN and its success in global
governance. Answers should show awareness of the extent to which the
UN has promoted development through achieving the Millennium goals.
AO1
• The UN works to promote development by fostering co-operation
between countries and regions. It was set up in 1945 with several
goals including maintaining international peace and security, protecting
human rights, delivering humanitarian aid, promoting sustainable
development and upholding international law and has been involved in
a diverse range of areas such as the environment, food supply, justice
and eradication of poverty.
• The Millennium Development Goals are 8 anti-poverty targets set in
2000 by the United Nations Development Programme. Their aim was
to reduce poverty across the globe by 2015. They have now been
replaced with the Sustainable Development Goals, whi
