BEST FOR REVISION !!!
*EPQ question and dissertation* - (answers)For my EPQ I completed research and
a dissertation on the question "In what ways have modern genocides shaped their
countries' political systems today and on which aspects of governance have they
had the most significant impact?"
*What was my Project*
- Various political consequences following both Rwandan and Srebrenica
genocides
- Changes at various levels of governance
- International changes
- National changes
- Regional / local changes
- Evaluated significance - (answers)In my project I looked at the various political
consequences which followed both the modern Rwandan and Srebrenica
genocides, and compared the governance changes made in each.
I looked at international governance changes, including those involving the UN
and separate international justice commissions, national governance changes,
which were implemented domestically in Rwanda and Bosnia and regional/ local
changes, which looked at more community driven governance changes.
I evaluated the relative significance of these changes, considering their direct
impact on the populations and how these changes have come to shape the
modern-day Rwanda and Bosnia.

*Question Rationale*
- Personal Interest in politics and history
- Decision to look at governance changes
- Pre-existing knowledge - (answers)My choice of this unusual topic area and
question initially developed from my own personal interest in History and politics,
which drove me to choose a dissertation which focused on a political subject.
The decision to look at governmental consequences of genocide came from a
small understanding of the existing system of government in Bosnia.
*Question Rationale 2*
- Wanting to compare the two
- Lack of public awareness and importance of genocide education - (answers)Once
I began to research into the topic, I became more interested by the system of
government and became familiar with similarly occurring Rwandan genocide,
which made me want to compare the two.
I was also driven to pick this topic, as I began to grow aware of the lack of modern
genocide awareness and especially in the consequences of such, and therefore
wanted to increase awareness of the topic. Such awareness is also regarded as
important as a tool of genocide education, which acts to prevent the events.
*Project Aims*
- improved understanding
