This Aid, Trade, Environment and War bundle within the Global Development unit of A Level Sociology (7192/2) provides students with a critical and comprehensive understanding of the global forces shaping development outcomes across the world. The PDF summary examines the complex interplay between foreign aid, international trade, environmental challenges, and conflict, using a range of sociological perspectives and case studies to assess their impact on inequality and progress in the Global South. Key concepts covered include neo-colonialism, dependency theory, fair trade, sustainable development, climate injustice, and the role of war in underdevelopment.

The PowerPoint presentation offers clear, visual explanations of each topic, with real-world examples such as the role of the IMF and World Bank, the effects of climate change on low-income countries, and the consequences of conflict in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. It integrates the views of key theorists and schools of thought including Modernisation theory, Dependency theory, World Systems theory, and Post-development critiques.

To support strong critical analysis and exam readiness, the bundle includes connectives worksheets and skills-based activities such as aid evaluation charts, conflict case study reviews, trade flow mapping, and sustainability debate tasks. A dedicated podcast episode unpacks the real-world implications of aid and trade policies, global inequality, and the environmental costs of development. The question bank features a variety of short-answer and 20-mark essay questions with model responses, including prompts such as “Evaluate the view that foreign aid does more harm than good” and “Assess the impact of war on global development.” An interactive quiz consolidates key terms, case studies, and theoretical debates in an engaging and revision-friendly way.

Altogether, this bundle equips students with the knowledge, theory, and evaluative skills needed to tackle some of the most complex and globally relevant issues in the Global Development unit, making it an essential resource for success in Paper 2.
