Ballot Collection and Native American Voters
This article assesses the benefits and alleged costs of ballot collection on Indian reservations. Using the conceptual frame of the "cost of voting," the research analyzes the impact of ballot collection by examining trends in vote-by-mail programs, socioeconomic variables, distance to polls and mail locations, and US Postal Service delivery on Indian reservations. It then uses a statistical analysis to test the claim that ballot collection leads…
Collaboration and the Criteria for Success
There is a voluminous literature devoted to identifying factors that affect the success of collaborative processes. Our first research goal was to develop a list of 13 elements of effective collaborative procedural design, which could then be applied to a case study of an innovative water policy collaboration. The case study indicated that the design of that collaborative process embodied significant limitations, and those imperfections provided …
Unredeemed Land
Erin Stewart Mauldin has written a succinct and insightful analysis of southern agriculture that explodes old myths and offers new explanations by taking an environmentally holistic view of the subject. It is a truism that slavery was the principal cause of the Civil War, but this book asks a more provocative question: What “caused” cotton, and thus slavery, to be the dominant form of economic activity in the South? As this book makes abundantly …
Jeremy J. Schmidt. Water
Water presents a bold and ambitious effort to place the evolution of water management within a framework that combines geography, anthropology, and philosophy. Jeremy J. Schmidt courses through the ideas of leading water thinkers, principally John Wesley Powell, WJ McGee, David Lilienthal, Gilbert White, and Aldo Leopold, to develop the concept of “normal water,” sort of a pan-disciplinary hydrological determinism. He traces this line of thought …
Integrated Water Resources Management and Collaboration
Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is one of the most utilized models in water policy and administration. One of the crucial components in IWRM is collaboration, where multiple stakeholders negotiate solutions. This article explores the role of collaboration in one of the most contentious water conflicts in the nation—the Klamath River. The range of stakeholders is enormous and complex, including Indian tribes, farmers, fishermen, recre…

River Republic
Daniel McCool not only chronicles the history of water development agencies in America and the way in which special interests have abused rather than preserved the country's rivers, he also narrates the second, brighter act in this ongoing story: the surging, grassroots movement to bring these rivers back to life and ensure they remain pristine for future generations. The culmination of ten years of research and observation, McCool's book confirm…

Antigone's claim
Antigone, the renowned insurgent from Sophocle's Oedipus, has long been a feminist icon of defiance. But what has remained unclear is whether she escapes from the forms of power that she opposes. Antigone proves to be a more ambivalent figure for feminism than has been acknowledged, since the form of defiance she exemplifies also leads to her death. Butler argues that Antigone represents a form of feminist and sexual agency that is fraught with r…
The Subsystem Family of Concepts
The subsystem concept has been widely utilized by political scien tists for many decades. The various concepts that fall under this ru bric have been greatly modified and improved in recent years. However, a number of problems persist. This essay explains why the subsystem concept has been so popular and enduring, and then discusses three problems in the application and use of subsystem concepts. It then proposes that a different approach, which …

Intergovernmental Conflict and Indian Water Rights
The states and Indian tribes have fought bitterly over water rights for nearly a century. Most of this conflict took place in courtrooms, but in recent years, states and tribes have been attempting to resolve their differences through negotiated water settlements. This article utilizes the literature and theory on alternative dispute resolution to identify six advantages that are expected to accrue from negotiations. It then assesses the extent t…
Indian Water Settlements
Beginning in the late 1970s, the federal government adopted a policy of negotiating, rather than litigating, conflicts over Indian water claims. In the ensuing years numerous settlements have been authorized by Congress. According to the literature on dispute resolution, successful negotiations are usually characterized by a specific set of conditions. This paper assesses the extent to which Indian water settlements are characterized by these con…

Subgovemments as Determinants of Political Viability
The subgovernment model of policy making has been in popular usage for more than twenty years and has been relied upon to explain a great deal of policy output. 1 Briefly, the theory holds that tripartite alliances formed between congressional committees or subcommittees, interest groups, and government agencies are all concerned with the same substantive policy. Their relationship is mutually advantageous; through the expenditure of government f…

Subgovernments and the Impact of Policy Fragmentation and Accommodation
For many years political scientists have utilized the subgovernment model of policy-making to explain certain types of policy output. Recently a number of scholars have argued that the traditional conceptualization of subgovernments was simplistic and incomplete. They view subgovernments as a complex and integral part of the larger policy-making environment. This paper examines this "new" subgovernment by analyzing its role in contemporary public…
