Indigenous nationhood in the absence of recognition: Self-governance insights and strategies from three Aboriginal communities

有证据表明，有效治理是土著社区取得经济、社会和文化成果的必要前提，该项目旨在通过学习和分享关于可持续和有效土著治理的经验教训，加强澳大利亚土著社区。该项目与维多利亚、南澳和新南威尔士州的三个土著社区合作，这些社区以不同方式参与土著治理进程，项目旨在确定社区治理方面的创新，测试澳大利亚治理评估工具的效用，并建立一个澳大利亚土著和全球网络，以分享成功的战略。在这样做的过程中，该项目有助于土著民族建设的新兴理论。

Based on evidence that effective governance is a necessary precursor to Indigenous communities’ economic, social and cultural outcomes, this project aims to strengthen Australian Indigenous communities by learning and sharing lessons about sustainable and effective Indigenous governance. In collaboration with three Aboriginal communities in Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales that are differentially engaged in Indigenous governance processes, the project aims to identify innovation in community governance, test the usefulness of Australian governance assessment tools, and foster an Indigenous Australian and global network to share successful strategies. In doing so, the project contributes to an emerging theory of Indigenous nation building.
