For several years, Afghanistan has lead the the supply of illegal opiate to the other countries in the world. As a part of United Nations, UNODC has contribute a lot of significant outputs along with Afghan Government through The Country Programme for Afghanistan. However, by 2012-2013, drug trafficking in Afghanistan increased at the highest point compare to the years before. This research aims to analyse the constraints of UNODC on combating drug trafficking in Afghanistan, that caused a significant increase of drug rafficking in Afghanistan. Descriptive-Analysis type is used in this research to describe the efforts of UNODC, then analyse the constraints of UNODC through the implementation of Country Programme.

TL;DR: The G20 opens a critical lens into the nature of contested global governance at a time of fundamental reordering as mentioned in this paper, highlighting the degree to which the contestation about the nature and nature of new forms of global governance must be nuanced.
Abstract: The G20 opens a critical lens into the nature of contested global governance at a time of fundamental re-ordering. Although increasing their status. The BRICS have not made sustained efforts to influence the design of the G20. By way of contrast a number of middle powers have exhibited more assertive diplomatic styles as hosts and policy entrepreneurs. While initially left outside the summit process, some key small states worked extensively through coalitional diplomacy to gain some degree of access to the G20. This paper showcases the degree to which the contestation about the nature of new forms of global governance must be nuanced. The main route of contestation for the big rising powers has come via parallel institutional structures - notably through the formalization of the BRICS. Middle powers and smaller states, with a greater sense of the stakes involved concerning 'hub' institutionalization, have a much greater incentive to actively engage with the G20.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined Guet Ndarian migration as an adaptive response to environmental risks and more specifically climate change: 1) through the intensification of fishing migration to Mauritania, and 2) through home construction on the mainland away from the encroaching sea.
Abstract: SIn 2008, the UN designated Saint-Louis “the city most threatened by rising sea levels in the whole of Africa” The people of Guet Ndar, a densely populated fishing quarter, are coping with environmental challenges on two fronts: 1) coastal erosion and intensifying storms have destroyed sea-front homes, and, 2) overfishing and climate change’s maritime impacts are making local fishing less feasible as a livelihood strategy Based on a local fieldwork, this paper examines Guet Ndarian migration as an adaptive response to environmental risks and more specifically climate change: 1) through the intensification of fishing migration to Mauritania, and 2) through home construction on the mainland away from the encroaching sea Although these population movements respond to different environmental challenges, this paper identifies their enmeshment as the former facilitates the latter Furthermore, it embeds these migratory dynamics in their socio-economic context and applies mobility and transnational paradigms to environmentally vulnerable areas
