It details the avenues through which such agreements can be implemented and sustained. It also shows how agreement-making has provided a forum in which indigenous groups can negotiate their needs and aspirations, including fundamental issues of recognition, inclusion, and economic opportunity. The discussion addresses governance and leadership; negotiation strategies; the importance of process and outcome; the impact of politics and timing; the significance of private sector engagement; and implementation mechanisms. The Australian regional agreements concern South West Australia, the Murray-Darling Basin, and Cape York. Urban agreements in Darwin and Vancouver are compared. There are also chapters on the Northwest Territories and northern Quebec. The authors include indigenous and non-indigenous academics and others who have been involved in negotiating agreements. |
