Water Modeling Technologies: A Key To Unlocking Water Conflict In The Middle East?, Al-Sharif Nasser Bin Nasser Jan 2013

Water Modeling Technologies: A Key To Unlocking Water Conflict In The Middle East?, Al-Sharif Nasser Bin Nasser

Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education

Several cases of armed conflict in the Middle East have a root cause in competition over resources, with water being the focus of conflict. Water will increasingly become a critical trigger for future conflict as supplies become scarcer and as population pressures continue to grow. With existing talks between riparian countries surrounding the Jordan River and the Tigris-Euphrates Basins either being absent or ineffective, there is a pressing need to develop a new approach to resolve water issues in the Middle East. In this context, water modeling technologies may offer a new and unique tool for regional discussions.

Hydrostrategy, Hydropolitics, And Security In The Kura-Araks Basin Of The South Caucasus, Michael E. Campana, Berrin Basak Vener, Baek Soo Lee

Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education

After the Soviet Union's dissolution, the Kura-Araks Basin became an international river basin with respect to the South Caucasus states of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Despite differences among these countries, they depend greatly on the Kura-Araks Basin. They proposed to jointly monitor Kura-Araks Basin surface water quality and obtained funding to do so from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Science for Peace Programme. Thus, the South Caucasus River Monitoring Project was born in late 2002. The South Caucasus River Monitoring Project formally ended in December 2009, and was a model of collaboration and cooperation in a region where such traits …

Conflicts Associated With Exempt Wells: A Spaghetti Western Water War, Megan A. Vinett, Todd Jarvis Sep 2012

Conflicts Associated With Exempt Wells: A Spaghetti Western Water War, Megan A. Vinett, Todd Jarvis

Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education

The saga over exempt wells in the western United States and Canada epitomizes a new type of water conflict – a spaghetti-western water war. The political melodrama stars local governments to serve as sheriff of water-supply planning duties. Exempt wells number in the millions, and herding the growing numbers is testing the mettle of the states and provinces responsible for the management, allocation, and protection of natural resources. The separation of laws governing ground water and surface water, coupled with changes in geography and geology within a jurisdiction, compound the administrative riddle and give rise to a broad spectrum of …

The Military, Economy And The State: A New International System Analysis, Muhammed A. Asadi May 2012

The Military, Economy And The State: A New International System Analysis, Muhammed A. Asadi

Dissertations

In this dissertation, I outline a theoretical justification for a new world systems analysis in order to understand economic development and underdevelopment, and stratification systems that emerge within nation states because of their global social location. I present my detailed case for amending Wallerstein's World-Systems Analysis by empirically incorporating the interplay of the military, economy and state as opposed to his primarily economic division of labor that defines the core, periphery and semi periphery. I do this by uncovering the latent structure of militarization and its articulation within the world system controlling for state strength. I also outline the basic …

Act 3: A Feel For Society (1949-1984), James Smith Allen Nov 2010

Act 3: A Feel For Society (1949-1984), James Smith Allen

A Privileged Past

In Act 3, the personal story of the author is developed from birth to marriage (1949-1984), with particular attention to the historical role of cultural capital as defined by sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. "A Privileged Past" considers Bourdieu’s key components of this concept in the author’s education, travel, professional training, and social networks. The central literary figure in this chapter is the sense of touch, suggesting metaphorically the critical support provided by family members, close friends, and good colleagues. It ends with the warm press of hands and lips during the author’s wedding.


Act 5: Cultural Sound(Ing)S (1984-Present), James Smith Allen Nov 2010

Act 5: Cultural Sound(Ing)S (1984-Present), James Smith Allen

A Privileged Past

Here in Act 5 of "A Privileged Past," the author turns to his and his wife’s life overseas in France and Germany. Their dual national identities as Americans living abroad for extended periods of time underscore the dramatic changes in social conditions in Europe since 1945 as it regained its place in world affairs after World War II. Because so much of life in Europe is dependent upon second-language acquisition, the primary literary figure in this chapter is sound and its many cultural resonances.

Continuity In Technological Change: A Political Economic Analysis Of Digital Film Exhibition, Benjamin J. Birkinbine Aug 2010

Continuity In Technological Change: A Political Economic Analysis Of Digital Film Exhibition, Benjamin J. Birkinbine

Theses

This thesis analyzes the current transition to digital cinema projection technologies within the film exhibition business. I begin by discussing two historical cases of technological change in film exhibition technology, and I identify the corporations that successfully controlled periods of technological change in order to solidify their position atop the film industry. In drawing from these historical case studies, I examine the current transition to digital cinema projection technologies by discussing the structure of the film exhibition business and identifying those exhibitors that are controlling the transition to digital cinema. I find that the top three exhibitors - Regal Cinemas, …
