Government and politics
First class undergraduate essay on borders, statehood and freedom
Warwick’s PO301 is a final year 30 CAT course available to those with some specialism in politics or political theory - most notably, those taking PPE, PPL, EPP, EPAIS, PAIS, or History & Politics.
This essay was a summative submission and covered the module on freedom and borders. It rejects the argument made by Wellman (2008) that supports the right to exclude.
Wellman’s arguments are also covered in other courses, such as the final-year PPE/PPL course Political Economy of Philosophy and Politics.
The essay achieved a first. Use it as a source of ideas but don’t copy it - not least for reasons around plagiarism - but also because independent thought is what matters, not so much the content of the argument itself.
Exemplar EPQ: To what extent was Disraeli a Machiavellian politician?
EPQ question: Benjamin Disraeli ‘had scant respect for probity and integrity in politics - his code of behaviour was truly Machiavellian’. How accurate is this judgement?
I achieved full marks in this piece (54/54).

Please feel free to use particularly for revision on Benjamin Disraeli and Victorian politics. I wrote this when I was 17, before starting university, so the language is often a little clunky! For those studying Disraeli at university, use this as inspiration rather than a strictly accurate journal piece.
