Likely to see a Demographic Transition Model (DTM) application question, possibly linking aging populations (Stage 5) to economic strain or pronatalist policies. - **Unit 7: Industrial & Economic Development** — 16 appearances. Expect a question on the spatial shift of manufacturing (deindustrialization in core, SEZs in periphery) or a critique of Rostow’s model versus Wallerstein’s World System Theory. - **Unit 4: Political Patterns** — 15 appearances. Watch for questions on devolutionary forces (Spain/UK examples) or the function of supranational organizations (EU/ASEAN) in a globalized economy. - **Unit 6: Urban Patterns** — 14 appearances. Sustainability is trending; prepare for questions on New Urbanism, smart growth, or the environmental impact of megacities and squatter settlements in the semi-periphery.
