Does anyone know if we are still allowed to use the US invasion of Iraq as a case study? It's TECHNICALLY outside the 10-year limit but the last US troops didn't withdrawn until 2011. My teacher said yes but I want to double check.
Thanks a bunch.

Hey guys! My name is Ethan, I am doing global politics 3/4 this year, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice or any notes, at the moment I am doing UNIT 3 AOS 2 and writing an essay of pragmatism and idealism for China. So I was wondering if anyone has done any essay writing on pragmatism and Idealism for China's national interests, or to do with Foreign policy!
Thanks guys, would be greatly appreciated!!!

As far as I know, VCAA is quite stringent with the 10-year rule, so it's best to not risk it. On the cover page of the final exam, there's a special line of instructions which specifies you are only allowed to use examples from the past decade, i.e. 2009 onward. As most of the analysis-worthy parts of the invasion happened in 2003, I'd suggest to go for other case studies. If you must use Iraq, then maybe just stick to the 'withdrawal' part.

Hey there, I can't help too much with China as I didn't do it for the exam, but I've uploaded full copies of my Unit 3 AOS 1 and Unit 4 AOS 1 notes from 2018 in this post. You can also find plenty of notes from past high-scoring students in the 'notes' tab on the ATAR Notes website.
Good luck with your essay.

Hello fellow/former Politics students! I have a question for you.
Military Power, what is it? Is it always hard? Sometimes soft?
According to VCAA: 'Military Power' Refers to the use of a state’s military to exert influence over the actions of other global actors. This may not need to be implemented through a use of force as placement and capacity of the military may be enough to influence other global actors.
But, according to some very high scoring students I've spoken to, alongside many textbooks, I come across phrases like;
*'Military Power refers to the actual or threatened use of violence or force to influence actions of another global actor'
*'Military Power is always hard by nature'
So, what do we all think? Our AOS2 SAC is on Tuesday and this has me panicking a little.
