Pascale Harter introduces dispatches from correspondents, writers and reporters around the world.

Laurence Blair's on the frontier between Brazil and Paraguay, learning how narcotraffic has turned to narcopolitics as drug money bled out of the criminal world, to corrupt local authorities and to distort community values.

Aboard one of the most renowned of the houseboats on Kashmir's famously picturesque Dal Lake, Melissa van der Klugt leafs through the pages of a historic guestbook - with details of famous visitors who came here over seven decades.
