The Implementation of Agreements and Treaties with Indigenous and Local Peoples in Postcolonial States.

该项目涉及由一个跨学科小组对澳大利亚和国际司法管辖区内与土著和地方人民达成的协议的执行情况进行比较研究。签订协议现在是政府、工业和土著人民的一个主要政策工具。本项目将利用个案研究，满足对协定执行情况和促进长期可持续性的因素进行研究的迫切需要。这将涉及审查协议执行过程中出现的法律的、治理、经济发展、土地/遗产和环境管理问题，并调查协议的特点，以加强土著社区的社会、文化和经济成果。

This project involves a comparative study by an interdisciplinary team of the implementation of agreements with Indigenous and local peoples across selected Australian and international jurisdictions. Agreement making is now a major policy tool for governments, industry and Indigenous peoples. Using case studies, this project will address the critical need for research on implementation of agreements and the factors promoting long-term sustainability. This will involve examination of legal, governance, economic development, land/heritage, and environmental management issues that arise in agreement implementation and investigation of the features of agreements that enhance social, cultural and economic outcomes for Indigenous communities.
