Modern Diplomacy and the Changing Nature of International Politics in the 21st Century by Marc E. Oosthuizen

“…[i] This intricacy is because the post-Cold War international era requires diplomacy to move from being foremost about high politics such as security, military and geopolitical issues to incorporating a wider and growing scope of issues outside of a state’s national borders like migration, gender, global warming, desertification and diseases. Not only are these novel policy themes an indication of how diplomacy’s agenda is growing, but they also indicate that an increasing number of participating stakeholders must be included in contemporary diplomatic practice.…”

CLIMATE CHANGE AND FARMERS-HERDERS CONFLICT IN NORTHERN NIGERIA by OLUFUNKE .A. MOSES-OJO, ARUYA KINGSLEY JOSEPH, RILWAN ABDULLAHI ALIYU

“…The paper relied on secondary sources of data, such as textbooks, journals, magazines, newspapers, the internet, and other relevant materials. The desertification of far Northern Nigeria, accompanied by the reduction in the availability of pastoral land for grazing of cattle and crop farming activities and other attendant extreme environmental conditions such as rising sea levels, drought, and other infectious diseases as a result of global warming, have forced pastoralists to migrate from the affected areas to safer parts for the survival of their means of livelihood. …”

Analysis and Study on Long-Term and Phased Target Values of Soil and Water Conservation Rate in Guizhou Province Based on GIS by LIU Xiaolin, JIN Pingwei, WANG Juan, SHI Yandong, JIANG Xuebing, LUO Yudong, ZENG Xiaolei, KANG Qing

“…Scientific determination of the target value of soil and water conservation rate in Guizhou Province can provide a supporting basis for the high-quality development of soil and water conservation in Guizhou Province in the new period.Referring to the Guidelines for Determining Soil and Water Conservation Rate Targets formulated by the Ministry of Water Resources,this paper comprehensively considers the actual natural endowment conditions and social and economic development requirements of Guizhou Province and systematically predicts the control situation of water and soil erosion in Guizhou Province in the next 30 years by using the dynamic monitoring data of land use,topography,vegetation, rocky desertification,and water and soil erosion in Guizhou Province and employing the GIS statistical method of spatial superposition.In addition, the long-term threshold of soil and water conservation rate in 2050 and the phased target values in 2025,2030,and 2035 are determined,respectively.The results show that the long-term fully treatable area of soil and water erosion of Guizhou Province is 17 267.06 km²,and the long-term threshold of soil and water conservation rate in 2050 is 83.12%.The phased target values of soil and water conservation rate in 2025,2030,and 2035 are 75.05%,76.74%,and 78.40% respectively.The target value of soil and water conservation rate at each phase is in line with the soil and water conservation planning and the task of water and soil erosion control of Guizhou Province,and it can provide a basis for carrying out soil and water conservation work in Guizhou Province in the new period.…”
