The population in the region has more than doubled in less than thirty years, and irrigated agriculture, hydroelectric power generation, industrialization, and urbanization have increased. All of these developments require more water, and the dependence of the riparian nations on the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers has become apparent, as has the need for comprehensive, basin-wide management of water resources. At present the riparians have shown some concern about the management of water in the two rivers, although no consensus exists as to the precise nature of the problem or what should be done to resolve it. This policy-oriented dissertation attempts to help frame the policy issues of managing the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates basin. It also seeks to provide an understanding of the policy process and to meet the intelligence needs of policy-makers with regard to the future management of these international waterways. Finally, it provides strategies for developing and implementing a cooperative water policy for this international basin.</p>The Metamorphosis of the Arabian Ba'th Socialist Party2015-05-10T06:16:59-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc504519/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc504519/"><img alt="The Metamorphosis of the Arabian Ba'th Socialist Party" title="The Metamorphosis of the Arabian Ba'th Socialist Party" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc504519/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Chapter I of this study of the Arabian Ba'th Socialist Party discusses the evolution of Arab nationalism and concludes that Ba'th was a natural outcome of this evolution; two intellectuals supporting Arab nationalism were Party co-founders Michael Aflaq and Salah Bitar, Part One of Chapter II summarizes their lives to facilitate understanding of their thought and its impact on Ba'th; Part Two examines the Party's first convention (source of the Ba'th constitution), the reasons for it, and the necessity of establishing Ba'th; and Part Three outlines Ba'th ideology and organization. Chapter III analyzes Ba'th's promotion of Syrian-Egyptian union and that union's resultant adverse effect upon Party cohesiveness, The Conclusion discusses the groups into which Ba'th split after 1961 and their new interpretations of Ba'th ideology.</p>[Presentation on the Research of Ericka Albaugh]2020-08-26T16:16:13-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1706554/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1706554/"><img alt="[Presentation on the Research of Ericka Albaugh]" title="[Presentation on the Research of Ericka Albaugh]" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1706554/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Presentation of the author's research and areas of interest.

The mura kyodotai (village community) concept is representative of both types of authority, neither of which has defined boundaries. An examination of the nature of indigenous community authority may provide the broad context for a valid understanding of Japanese decision making.
Under the ideal of this order, Japanese political organization has valued the structure of Shinto: polytheistic local authority, plus conflated authority of church and state. Buddhism and Confucianism have provided direction and moral force to preserve traditional order.</p>Latino Attitudes Toward Abortion and Marriage Equality: Examining the Influence of Religiosity, Acculturation, and Non-Response2017-07-31T20:25:29-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc987448/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc987448/"><img alt="Latino Attitudes Toward Abortion and Marriage Equality: Examining the Influence of Religiosity, Acculturation, and Non-Response" title="Latino Attitudes Toward Abortion and Marriage Equality: Examining the Influence of Religiosity, Acculturation, and Non-Response" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc987448/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>This article seeks to extend literature on Latinos' policy preferences by examining the influence of multiple dimensions of acculturation and religiosity on two contemporary moral policy issues: abortion and same-sex marriage.</p>Transitioning Coal-fired Power Plants into Combined Solar and Wind Energy Power Plants2012-06-18T09:19:12-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc86698/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc86698/"><img alt="Transitioning Coal-fired Power Plants into Combined Solar and Wind Energy Power Plants" title="Transitioning Coal-fired Power Plants into Combined Solar and Wind Energy Power Plants" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc86698/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Poster presentation for the 2012 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas discussing research on transitioning coal-fired power plants into combined solar and wind energy power plants.</p>Primed Parsons; Reference Groups and Clergy Political Attitudes2017-07-31T20:25:29-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc987464/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc987464/"><img alt="Primed Parsons; Reference Groups and Clergy Political Attitudes" title="Primed Parsons; Reference Groups and Clergy Political Attitudes" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc987464/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>This article investigates the effect of parishioners and institutional superiors on clergy political attitudes.</p>Remembering to Ask the Boss: Priming and the Dynamics of Priest Reliance on Bishop Cues2016-08-31T10:05:56-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc862717/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc862717/"><img alt="Remembering to Ask the Boss: Priming and the Dynamics of Priest Reliance on Bishop Cues" title="Remembering to Ask the Boss: Priming and the Dynamics of Priest Reliance on Bishop Cues" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc862717/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>This article assesses the effects of randomly priming priests with varying considerations of their professional responsibilities and relevant constituencies (including parishioner expectations).</p>Racial and Ethnic Politics in the 2012 Presidential Primaries2012-04-27T10:13:11-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc83790/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc83790/"><img alt="Racial and Ethnic Politics in the 2012 Presidential Primaries" title="Racial and Ethnic Politics in the 2012 Presidential Primaries" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc83790/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>This presentation is part of the faculty lecture series UNT Speaks Out on the 2012 Presidential Primaries.
