The rapid expansion of non-state providers in health care delivery in Nigeria came up as a result of the neoliberal globalization. The initiation of structural adjustment program （SAP） program in Nigeria reduced state performance in social services provision in all sectors including Health care. The study revealed that state-owned health care centers, although cheaper, are not able to meet the expectations of most Nigerian citizens while the private health care providers on the other hand are expensive and beyond the reach of the average person. The paper concludes that NSA substitute state capacity. Against this background, the paper recommends that the federal government should put structures and policies in place to facilitate and enhance the equitable delivery of healthcare services in Nigeria to improve development outcomes for all Nigerian citizens.展开更多

Sea ice decline creates favorable circumstances for the development of merchant shipping, but is accompanied by increases in greenhouse gas emissions. Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the shipping industry is of utmost importance to prevent the destruction of the fragile Arctic ecosystem. This paper focuses on the core content of the Paris Agreement and suggests that the International Maritime Organization could guide the shipping industry to reach a fair agreement with states that includes market-based measures, capacity building, and voluntary actions of shipping companies as non-state actors.展开更多
