Modelling Approaches to Understand Salinity Variations in a Highly Dynamic Tidal River The Case of the Shatt al-Arab River

Modelling Approaches to Understand Salinity Variations in a Highly Dynamic Tidal River The Case of the Shatt al-Arab River

This book reports the first systematic monitoring and modelling study on water availability water quality and seawater intrusion of the Shatt al-Arab River (SAR) on the border of Iraq and Iran where causes and concentration levels of salinity have not yet been fully understood let alone addressed leading to conflicting perceptions of its origin (external or internal) the natural conditions and the practices that can explain the current critical conditions. Current scientific knowledge on the SAR salinity problem is deficient partially due to the complex and dynamic interaction between marine and terrestrial salinity sources including return flows by water users of the different water sectors in the Euphrates and Tigris rivers upstream of the SAR. The development of a new series of monitoring stations and various modelling approaches helped to better understand the interactions between these different sources. The comprehensive and detailed dataset formed the basis for a validated analytical model that can predict the extent of seawater relative to other salinity sources in an estuary and for a hydrodynamic model that can predict salinity changes. The adaptability of the models to changing conditions makes them directly applicable by water managers. The procedure can be applied to other comparable systems. | Modelling Approaches to Understand Salinity Variations in a Highly Dynamic Tidal River The Case of the Shatt al-Arab River

Changes in Jihadi Discourse in the Wake of the Islamic State From Transnational Jihad to Fragmentation

Changes in Jihadi Discourse in the Wake of the Islamic State From Transnational Jihad to Fragmentation

Changes in Jihadi Discourse in the Wake of the Islamic State explores how the transnational jihadi discourse changed with the development of the Islamic State terrorist group and resulted in the fragmentation of the jihadi movement. From the Middle East through Africa to South East Asia today’s jihadi movement is more fragmented than ever. Al-Qaida and the Islamic State compete not only with each other but also with local jihadi groups. Despite the fact that in the wake of the Islamic State international jihadi groups are in fierce competition for supporters little has been said on how the process of competition as well as external events changed the ideology of these groups and the topics relevant to them. Countering dominant research focusing on the differences between jihadi strains this book explores how the appearance and temporary strength of the Islamic State changed the topics and talking points of other jihadi actors such as al-Qaida. By analyzing primary sources in Arabic and English the author sheds light on the inner- and inter-jihadi discourse and its development over the years. The book does not simply describe changes in topics; it traces these changes quantitatively and relates them to external events. This book is aimed at academics researchers and postgraduate students interested in political science security studies jihadism jihadi discourse al-Qaida Islamic State and Salafism as well as practitioners and decision-makers in government agencies who wish to understand how transnational jihadi discourse has developed over the previous two decades. | Changes in Jihadi Discourse in the Wake of the Islamic State From Transnational Jihad to Fragmentation

Influence and Resistance in Post-Independence Egyptian Architecture

Influence and Resistance in Post-Independence Egyptian Architecture

This book is an effort towards an in-depth understanding of the architectural discourse in Egypt developed over more than eight decades. It offers a distinctive theoretical interpretation of the forces shaping the kaleidoscopic shifts in Egyptian architecture through the analysis of the micro space of architectural representation of twentieth century Egyptian architecture. Predicated on historical contextualization theoretical integration and global conceptualization Edward Said’s analytical method of contrapuntal reading and the spatial discourse analysis posited by C. Greig Crysler are lucidly assimilated to generate insights into various voices within the architectural discourse in Egypt. The analysis and critique of two important professional magazines al-‘Imarah (1939–1959) and ‘Alam al-Bena’a (1980–2000) which shaped the collective psyche of both the academic and professional communities in Egypt and the wider region coupled with the exploration of two other short-lived magazines M‘imaryah (1982–1989) Medina (1998–2002) and other less-influential professional magazines discloses the structure of attitude and reference or the exclusions and inclusions that defined the boundaries of the space of the discourse. Influence and Resistance in Post-Independence Egyptian Architecture paves the way to genuinely debate a yet to mature twenty-first century’s architectural discourse in Egypt. This book is a key resource for architects architectural historians and critical theorists and will appeal to academics and to both graduate and advanced undergraduate students in architectural history and theory and Middle East and Global South studies.

The Political Economy of Immigration in The Netherlands Population Land and Welfare

The Political Economy of Immigration in The Netherlands Population Land and Welfare

Economists measure the effects of immigration through the yardstick of income. This book offers a broad survey of the conventional approach but in addition also considers better measures of welfare or well-being and provides a detailed description and evaluation of policies - rules regulations and implementation. The book offers a long historical perspective on the development of population density in the Netherlands. It begins with the history of the Netherlands: geological and cultural formation of the land - and water - and population development. The Netherlands is unique in that much of the land is man-made in particular the western part which is economically speaking the most developed area. It is also special for its very high population growth rate that took off during the 19th century. The key argument of the book is that population size is irrelevant for income per capita that land is a binding constraint in the Netherlands and that negative external effects of increasing population size lead to welfare losses from further population growth whether by natural growth or by immigration. At present the battle for scarce land is intense and bitter with a strong clash between developers who want to build houses farmers who do not want to give up farming and conservationists who increasingly find support in the courts for insufficiently caring for the natural environment. The book combines a general analysis of population density both theoretical and empirical with an in-depth presentation of actual policies in a country with intense pressure on available land. | The Political Economy of Immigration in The Netherlands Population Land and Welfare

Inhabiting Liminal Spaces Informalities in Governance Housing and Economic Activity in Contemporary Italy

Inhabiting Liminal Spaces Informalities in Governance Housing and Economic Activity in Contemporary Italy

This book draws together debates from two burgeoning fields liminality and informality studies to analyze how dynamics of rule-bending take shape in Rome today. Adopting a multiscalar and transdisciplinary approach it unpacks how gaps and contradictions in institutional rulemaking and application force many residents into protracted liminal states marked by intense vulnerability. By merging a political economy lens with ethnographic research in informal housing illegal moneylending unauthorized street-vending and waste collection the author shows that informalities are not marginal or anomalous conditions but an integral element of the city’s governance logics. Multiple actors together construct the local cultural norms conventions and moral economies through which rule-negotiation occurs. However these practices are ultimately unable to reconfigure historically rooted power dynamics and hierarchies. In fact they often aggravate weak urbanites’ difficulties in accessing rights and services. A study that challenges assumptions that informalities are predominantly features of developing economies or limited to specific groups and sectors this volume’s critical approach and innovative methodology will appeal to scholars of sociology and anthropology interested in social theory urban studies and liminality. | Inhabiting Liminal Spaces Informalities in Governance Housing and Economic Activity in Contemporary Italy
