In this first book-length discussion of Utah's water policies, contributors offer a comprehensive assessment of the political impact of water in the nation's second driest state. After examining the historical background, individual scholars focus on the Central Utah Project (CUP), the principal legislative plan for streamlining economic growth and demands on water resources in the state. Their analysis concentrates on four "water imperatives" - economics, environmental impact, social and cultural impact, and the question of fairness and equity when dividing this valuable resource. The authors describe the debate over priorities for water use, with agriculture, tourism, and urban development groups each staking a claim for their particular needs. They then examine in detail the various potential sources of water, proper maintenance of those sources, and effective methods for using water efficiently and conserving it. A concluding section places Utah water politics within the national context and discusses forthcoming state and national legislation that will affect Utah's water resources. This book should prove invaluable to general readers and policymakers alike who wish to learn more about Utah's water politics in anticipation of critical forthcoming legislative debates on these issues.

"Siren Song is an interdisciplinary analysis combining law, political economy, and geography. Carl Bauer places the Chilean model of water law in international context by reviewing the contemporary debate about water economics and policy reform. He follows with an account of the Chilean experience, drawing on primary and secondary sources in Spanish and English, including interviews with key people in Chile. He presents the debate about reforming the law after Chile's 1990 return to democratic government, as well as emerging views about how water markets have worked in practice. The resulting book provides insights about law, economics, and public policy within Chile and lessons for the countries around the world that are wrestling with the challenges of water policy reform."--Jacket.

Few issues have provoked as much controversy over the last decade as illegal immigration. While some argue for the need to seal America's borders and withdraw all forms of social and governmental support for illegal migrants and their children, others argue for humanitarian treatment--including legalization--for people who fill widely acknowledged needs in American industry and agriculture and have left home-country situations of economic hardship or political persecution. The study of illegal immigration necessarily confronts a broad range of migrants--from the familiar border crossers to those who enter illegally and overstay their visas, to the many unrecognized refugees who enter the country to seek protection under U.S. asylum law. The subject also demands attention to American society's responses to these newcomers--responses that often focus on limited elements of a complex issue. A comprehensive, up-to-date review of this volatile subject, this book provides an accessible, balanced introduction to the subject. Covering the full range of illegal immigrants from Mexican border crossers to Central American refugees, illegal Europeans, and smuggled Chinese, the book considers the kind of work the migrants do and the public response to them. The work is divided into four parts: Concepts, Policies, and Numbers; The Migrants and Their Work; The Responses; and Illegal Immigration in Perspective.
