Peace and security for democracy and development sheet
3-mark answer frame

Explain how peace and security, democracy and development depend on one another.

How to lay out the answer. Follow the frame, then write it in your own words.

  1. 1 · Open in one line. Peace and security, democracy and development depend on each other.
  2. 2 · Peace makes democracy work. Elections, democratic institutions and citizens' participation all need peace.
  3. 3 · Peace makes development possible. No development activity can go on amid disturbance, violence or war.
  4. 4 · Democracy and development keep the peace. Democracy gives everyone a voice; development removes deprivation, so discontent and violence fall.
  5. 5 · The world's view. The Millennium Development Goals (2000) and the 2005 World Summit called them interlinked and mutually reinforcing.
  6. 6 · Close in one line. Each strengthens the other, like links in a chain.

Scoring tip: Show the link in both directions. An answer that shows only one direction gets part marks.
