Politics is determination of the will of the government which is the subject of the political sciences and the administration of affairs is execution of the will of the government which is the subject of the administrative sciences. Politics and the public affairs administration are in equilibrium with another. In other words, the administration of the public affairs is a ground for the execution of the government's will and stands against the policy which determines the structure of the public affairs administration. Investigating each of the mentioned instances entails attention to the other. Types of governmental systems based on centralization are centralized, decentralized, condensed and federal and confederate. In the centralized, decentralized and condensed governmental systems, there is a delegation of power from the central government to the local governments, while in the federal and confederate governmental systems there is no such transfer of power. In each of the centralization and decentralization systems, the national state monitors the affairs, but the type and intensity of monitoring will be different. However, the main question relating to the paper is how monitoring is taking place in the political system governing the Islamic Republic of Iran with a look at two common centralized and decentralize systems based on the Islamic Republic of Iran's constitution?

The Role of State in the Process Changing Public Order to Legal Order (Considering Parsons Structural Functional Theory)
Present paper addresses the role of State Research problem is that legal discipline imposed by State is sometimes not admired by citizens and, consequently, political system faces with instability while laws and regulations should naturally establish public order. Therefore, the main question is that “what is the role of State in changing public order to legal order in responding people’s demands? Out hypothesis is that due to the emergence of human security and the rationality of structural functionalism theory, legal order by State can establish such function imposed by the concept of public order. Studies indicate that in general law, public order consists of citizens’ demands in the format of society’s value system. Since any legal norm should be implemented by political power support, the State which implements such rules is too important. Considering the existing values in the heart of new concept of public order and the possibility of changing society’s value system, State can provide such function committed to natural law approach and impartial in public arena. Such State should be also committed to the requirement of good governance theory in order to provide human security.

Need for Effective International Legal Framework to Tackle Climate Changed Induced Migration
The furthermost impact of the climate change would be displacement of people, leading mass migration at a large scale. The affected communities would be largely from climate vulnerable island nations and also from developing countries which will not have the infrastructure to cope with the climate change induced natural disasters. The main issue here would be the cross-border migration leading to refugee status claims. But the present international refugee law framework governed by the Refugee Convention, 1951 is in no way equipped in dealing with climate refugees. This clearly calls for international co-operation and consensus building for dealing with the climate refugees as a part of the climate change adaptation mechanism. An effective and binding provision in the climate change agreements for tackling climate change induced migration through co-operation is crucial. This paper points out the lacunae in the present international refugee law framework and discusses regarding mitigating this gap and provides pointers regarding the way forward.

Nigeria has served under UN peace initiatives in former Belgian Congo, Lebanon, Cyprus, Kosovo. Greece etc. The issue involved is that Nigeria has committed huge resource to peacekeeping in the face of ravaging poverty in the country.

For compensation in all these, the paper is advocating that Nigeria be offered a permanent seat at the United Nations Organisation as a way of healing the pains – in human and material resources.
