Policy for self-determination: the case study of ATSIC

该项目旨在对土著居民和托雷斯海峡岛民委员会（1990-2005年）进行重点研究，为澳大利亚的土著决策和治理提供信息。它将利用跨学科方法和国家视角，分析委员会如何以及在何种背景下运作，并记录有关人员的经历。该项目的预期成果包括关于该组织的成功和挑战的详细数据，以及一套土著口述历史/传记，将为公众和政治辩论提供信息。这段历史将有益于并改变当代澳大利亚社会理解、讨论、记忆和制定土著治理的方式。

This project aims to provide a focused study of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (1990-2005) to inform Indigenous policy-making and governance in Australia. Utilising interdisciplinary approaches and a national perspective it will analyse how, and in what context, the Commission functioned and document the stories of those involved. Expected outcomes of the project include detailed data on the successes and challenges of the organisation and a set of Indigenous oral histories/biographies that will inform public and political debate. This history will benefit and change the way Indigenous governance is understood, discussed, remembered and formulated in contemporary Australian society.
