Abstract: China‟s "One Belt One Road‟Initiativehas been billed as it‟s most ambitious project ever in trying to shape and influence behavior in the international system in line with her growing stature.

Abstract: According to ecofeminist philosophers, the existence of significant linkages between the treatment of women and other oppressed classes and the treatment of natural environment are two sides of the same coin. Moreover, they highlight the insufficiency of those feminist and environmental ethics that fail to consider these connections substantially and admit that they can‟t be exclusive unless. Subsequently, it becomes mandatory for the people keenly interested in finding solutions to environmental destruction as well as domination of women and other suppressed classes to tackle these kinships interdependently and attentively...........

Abstract: The academic research and practices on democracy present western countries as almost perfect democracies in theory; however, focusing on citizen-based analysis they neglect major democratic rights of immigrants and their families in practice. Even if these immigrants gain the citizenship of the receiving country where they settled, they still face discrimination in their social, economic and political lives. There has been a dramatic increase in hate-crimes, anti-Islamism, intolerance and discrimination towards Muslim immigrants in western countries during the last two decades, parallel to continuous increase in migration from third countries........
