Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct as hard power involves coercion or threats and can be exercised by both states and non-state actors like terrorist groups [1]. Statement 4 is correct as autarky is defined as economic self-sufficiency. However, statements 2 and 3 are incorrect. Globalization is a multidimensional phenomenon that includes significant cultural and political aspects, not just economic ones [3]. The 'Washington Consensus' refers to a set of neoliberal, market-oriented policies promoted by the IMF and World Bank that advocate for privatization, trade liberalization, and a reduction in state intervention in the market. Therefore, it seeks to decrease rather than increase market intervention. Since the question asks for the 'not correct' statements, 2 and 3 are the right choice.
