Questions of jurisdiction over Indian lands between tribal and state governments constitute some of the most vexing problems in federal Indian law. The Ute jurisdiction case captures, in one instance, the complexities that surround this important body of law. Many cases concerning Native American jurisdiction rights center on disputed interpretations of antiquated federal laws. In the Ute case, both the State of Utah and the Ute Indian tribe contested the meaning of a series of congressional acts that opened Ute lands to white settlement at the turn of the century. The protracted litigation that marked the Ute case revealed many of the inconsistencies and contradictions that plague the federal courts in their attempts to resolve jurisdiction controversies. This thesis examines the particulars of the Ute ii lawsuit and, using it as a vehicle, investigates the limits of the law in deciding Indian/white jurisdiction disputes.

Focuses on the dynamics of network stability and change, and the growing importance of the international dimension in domestic policy making, a factor overlooked by network theory.

During the 1980s both British and American trade unions faced hostile political and economic environments. Looks at the political strategies of 2 unions: Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (affiliated to the Labour party) and United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (an ally of the Democrats), for attracting conservative voters' membership. (SJK)

The unions considered differ from party affiliated unions in that they tend to encompass a broader spectrum of political opinion than blue collar/manual unions; the membership is less inhibited by occupational solidarity and culture from articulating dissent: they are thought more likely to 'voice' discontent and 'exit'; ethics of professionalism and public service, as well as white collar status, limit party political support. Considers the strategies of nonpartisan politics, and reviews the political change, especially marked in the public sector. (PAS)
