In the New World order, which one of the following has reduced its significance ?

A.International organization
B.Economic and Human Welfare
C.International Conflict over ideology
D.International law

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

The thing whose significance has reduced is international conflict over ideology.

With the end of the Cold War, the long contest between capitalism and communism lost its force, so ideological conflict between states mattered less in the new world order.

International organisations, economic and human welfare issues, and international law have gained importance, not lost it, so the other options are wrong.

In the post Cold War world, trade, human rights, terrorism and the environment have taken the place of ideological competition as subjects of international politics.

The modern nation-state has come under tremendous challenge from the following :

A.Religion
B.Ethnicity
C.Terrorism
D.All of the above

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

All three of them have challenged the modern nation-state. Religion in the form of fundamentalism, ethnicity in the form of separatist demands, and terrorism that crosses borders and attacks the monopoly of force of the state, are each pressures on the nation-state, so the keyed answer is all of the above. Choosing only one of the three leaves out the other two, which are equally well-known challenges. Each of these has weakened the state's control over its people or its borders in recent decades.

A.Japan
B.China
C.Mongolia
D.Yemen

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Mongolia is a land-locked country: it lies between Russia and China and has no coast. Japan is an island nation, China has a long coastline on the Pacific, and Yemen is on the Arabian Peninsula with coasts on the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea. Of the four, only Mongolia has no access to the sea. Mongolia is the largest land-locked country that is not part of a larger union, and its trade must pass across Russian or Chinese territory to reach the sea, which is the usual test for a land-locked state.
