Political Science CSS Past Paper Trends
Recent past papers show a stronger emphasis on comparison, application, and argument rather than straightforward descriptions of political thinkers or institutions. The 2025 paper asked candidates to compare Aristotle with Plato, Hegel with Marx, and the political systems of France and Iran, while the 2026 paper pushed similar ideas further through questions on the contemporary application of Utilitarianism, political participation, federalism, authoritarianism, Brexit, party systems, international institutions, and Pakistan’s foreign policy. This suggests that knowing a theory or system is only part of what recent papers demand; candidates are increasingly expected to use that knowledge to analyze a political situation or make a structured comparison.
