Cultural conflicts and mediation : framework analyses of resource development and conservation on the Indigenous lands and waters, Commonwealth ofAustralia

本研究采用了语料库构建方法，以理解当前正在进行的冲突、纠纷、诉讼过程，以及各种调解/谈判实践案例，这些案例涉及澳大利亚境内和周边土地和水域的土著群体对土著所有权要求和相关管理/使用/咨询权利的要求。关于这些主题的描述性和分析性写作已被广泛收集和分析。数据语料库主要包括：1)大众媒体报道和评论；2)行政发布，如国家原住民权审裁处媒体发布和政府声明；3)土著组织和个人的正式声明和不太正式的评论；4)来自政治、人类学或法律观点的专家评论。在较小程度上，也提到了法院的裁决文本。还查阅了人类学、社会学、政治、历史和人口方面的文章，尽管这些文章没有纳入数据库语料库。该语料库反映了1996年底至2008年期间观察到的具体案例及其背景趋势。得到的资料被整理成28.2兆的FileMakerPro数据库，其中包含2104条记录，并赋予若干关键词进行搜索和分析。
