Indigenous Policy and Political Relationships in Settler Colonial States

该项目旨在通过深入的案例研究，研究澳大利亚、美国、加拿大和新西兰的土著政策体系与基本政治关系之间的关系。在所有四个州，政策都难以实质性地改善土著人民的福祉，但澳大利亚的结果最差，正式的政治认可度也最低。预期成果包括一种新的理解土著政策的方法，将政策动态与定居者和土著主权之间的冲突联系起来，以及讲英语的定居者殖民地国家的比较政策数据。它将通过展示政策协作和有效性方面的国际最佳做法，使澳大利亚土著和政策界受益。

This project aims to study the relationship between Indigenous policy systems and foundational political relationships in Australia, the US, Canada and New Zealand via in depth case studies. Across all four states, policy struggles to substantively improve Indigenous wellbeing, but Australia has the poorest results and weakest formal political recognition. Expected outcomes include a new approach to understanding Indigenous policy that links policy dynamics to conflicts between settler and Indigenous sovereignties and comparative policy data across the English Speaking settler colonial states. It will benefit Australian Indigenous and policy communities by showcasing international best practice in policy collaboration and effectiveness.
