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

该项目涉及一个跨学科小组对在选定的澳大利亚和国际司法管辖区与土著人民和当地人民执行协定的情况进行比较研究。达成协议现在是政府、工业界和土著人民的主要政策工具。利用案例研究，该项目将解决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。这将涉及审查在协议执行过程中出现的法律、治理、经济发展、土地/遗产和环境管理问题，以及调查促进土著社区社会、文化和经济成果的协议的特点。

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.
