Exploring Gaps in Arctic Governance: Identifying Potential Sources of Conflict and Mitigating Measures 2021

Benjamin J. Sacks, Scott R. Stephenson, Stephanie Pezard, Abbie Tingstad, Camilla T. N. Sørensen
Arctic states and other stakeholders have long cooperated on territorial, military, and other affairs to avoid or mitigate conflict. In this report, researchers identify potential risks and catalysts that could escalate into conflict in the region, determine which of those cannot be solved by existing governance mechanisms, and identify potential changes to such mechanisms to help mitigate the identified risks.
Afghanistan in the Era of Fentanyl: Considering Potential Economic and Political Impacts of a Collapse in Demand for Afghanistan's Opiates 2021

Victoria A. Greenfield, Bryce Pardo, Jirka Taylor
Afghanistan is the world's largest producer of illegal opium poppy and is a key source for European and Asian heroin markets. The authors summarize the economic and political roles of opiates in Afghanistan. Given the rise and dominance of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids displacing heroin in major drug markets in the Americas, the authors assess what might happen to Afghanistan if demand for its opiates dropped off sharply and permanently.
