A1, 2 and 3
B2, 3 and 4
C1, 2 and 4 ✓ Correct
D1, 2, 3 and 4
Correct answer: (C) 1, 2 and 4 — Items 1, 2 and 4 capture the thesis, so the answer is 1, 2 and 4.
Explanation
★Items 1, 2 and 4 capture the thesis, so the answer is 1, 2 and 4.
★Krasner argued that sovereignty is more myth than reality.
★He showed how weaker states are pressured by powerful ones.
★He showed that international norms are frequently violated.
★Item 3 is wrong, because he did not claim globalisation increased sovereignty.
★His point was that sovereignty is routinely compromised in practice.
★So only the claim about increased sovereignty is incorrect.
