In the world today, registered Afghan refugees total approximately 1.6 million with one to two million more living undocumented in border nations like Iran and Pakistan. They are the largest ‘protracted’ refugee population on the Asian continent and have existed in a perpetual state of displacement since the Soviet-Afghan War from late 1970-1980. The status of these refugees in Pakistan today remains steadfastly connected to the concepts of displacement, migration, settlement, and repatriation. This research paper explores how the Afghan refugee crisis evolved within the confines of socio-cultural, political, economic, and historical crises created and imposed by international actors who sought to control it for their own purposes. A major component of finding a solution to the Afghan refugee crisis requires us to move away from the overworked ‘objective’ view of their situation and toward a more subjective identification of their personhood as refugees, and this act pulls into itself the question of how they dealt with and continue to deal with refuge and resettlement in Pakistan. Furthermore, the Afghan refugee crisis is an ongoing global dispute involving human lives that requires much more attention and sincerity than it has received.

Abstract: This chapter aims to contribute to discussions concerning the global oppression of women by highlighting the ways in which the status of women intersects with climate change throughout the world. Empirical research shows that women’s representation in political organizations and their incorporation into decision-making processes are associated with lower contributions to climate change and overall improvements in sustainability across nations. These findings suggest that the status of women has a substantive bearing on the environmental and ecological future of the planet. Other research shows that women’s role as primary producers of food for the household results in a disproportionate burden of climate change for women, who leverage myriad strategies to adapt to changing conditions. In reviewing past qualitative and quantitative findings on climate change and women, the chapters focuses on the West African nation of Ghana, arguing that development and environmental policies would benefit from greater sensitivity to the ways in which climate change shapes women’s social, political, and economic opportunities. In doing so, the chapter utilizes ecofeminist theories to highlight critical links to achieving greater gender equality across social, political, economic, and environmental lines.

Critical Overview

Since 1979, the Afghan refugee crisis is the second largest refugee crisis in the world which is termed as “Protracted Refugee Situation”. Since then, the neighboring countries, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan have provided support in terms of sheltering the refugees and conducting the measures of durable solutions. Last year, it marked the fourth decade of the crisis, and there is still no permanent solution. Different measures have been taken, among them, Solutions Strategy for Afghan Refugees (SSAR) is the most significant one. In this paper, a qualitative approach involving secondary data sources critically evaluates the effects of repatriation as a solution to the Afghan refugee crisis. This paper had tried to illustrate significant initiatives taken by UNHCR and the governments of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran along with the international community. In conclusion, some policies are recommended to make voluntary repatriation more effective.

Developing countries have their own particular political, economic and cultural circumstances. There are, therefore, no unique solutions. However there are some factors which are common to all or most of them, namely the lack of human and financial resources and in most cases an absence of a political commitment to the advancement of science. Such situations are in a sense not peculiar to developing nations because in some developed countries astronomy has a ‘developing’ status. Even in countries where astronomy is well established, the commitment and allocations required to maintain the status quo need to be continuously addressed. Hence strategies for fighting this “constant battle” are relevant to all astronomers of the world, while being especially vital to those in the developing world.

SummarySome recent data are presented on the size and selected sociodemographic characteristics of the Afghan refugee population in Pakistan. Although the official figures show that there were 3·27 million registered Afghan refugees in Pakistan, it is estimated that the actual number may be as high as 3·6 million. There is an excess of females over males, mainly due to war-related activities and excessive casualties particularly among males. While infant and childhood mortality rates are declining and are lower than the levels prevalent in Pakistan, as well as in Afghanistan during the prewar period, the fertility levels among Afghan refugees seem very high indeed.

Although, food stuff contributing only 3.9% of registered GIs. Special attention need to be given by the stake holders (public and private). The present research paper attempts to look into the status and system of GI and trade practices in food stuff. This is to highlight the role of GIs to protect the importance of origin of food stuffs and its culture and tradition. Further these GI food tags are pride of Indian cultural diets, extensively followed by the world. The majorities of food stuffs are unidentified and legally unprotected and the consumers are also not aware of the same. This is to give brief indication about how GI considerations of pursuing and protecting Indian Food stuff is essential and we must give attention to register maximum food stuffs to protect originality of the food and culture which is necessary to do so.

Vietnam is currently affirming its position in the global startup ecosystem map with the 59th ranking in the world. The great achievements in recent years have shown the spirit of "start-up nation", which is the result of the efforts of the entire political – economic – social system of the country. However, Vietnam's innovative startup ecosystem still has many difficulties and is still loose in linkage and cooperation between components and actors of the startup ecosystem. This article focuses on analyzing the status of linkages and cooperation between actors in the startup ecosystem such as state managers, investors, researchers and trainers, etc. at the same time learning experiences from successful countries in start-up, on that basis, proposes a number of solutions to develop Vietnam's innovative start-up connection network.

Unique Interpretation

This chapter argues that the very structure of the refugee protection system—the status quo that requires refugees to negotiate a system that resettles very few, contains millions in camps, and neglects millions more outside of camps—must be understood as a structural injustice. It is an outcome that can be understood as the cumulative effect of many different policies around refugee resettlement, refugee camps, immigration, and border security enacted by countries around the world, even though they did not intend this outcome. By focusing on the outcome, not the intentions behind it, we’re better able to see the injustice involved in our current treatment of refugees. After developing this unique interpretation of the refugee crisis, that chapter shows why all countries, but especially Western states, share political responsibility to address it. Political responsibility is shared by all those who contribute through their actions to sustaining the injustice.

Language being a potent vehicle of transmitting cultural values, norms and beliefs remains a central factor in determining the status of any nation. India is a multilingual country which tends to encourage people to use English at national and international level. Basically English in India owes its presence to the British but its subsequent rise is not fully attributable to the British. It has now become the language of wider communication which is now spoken by large number of people all over the world. It is influenced by many factors such as class, society, developments in science and technology etc. However the major influence on English language is and has been the media.
