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

基于有效治理是土著社区经济、社会和文化成果的必要先导的证据，该项目旨在通过学习和分享关于可持续和有效的土著治理的经验教训来加强澳大利亚土著社区。该项目与维多利亚州、南澳大利亚州和新南威尔士州参与土著治理进程的三个土著社区合作，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有用性，并促进澳大利亚土著和全球网络分享成功的战略。通过这样做，该项目有助于形成一种新兴的土著民族建设理论。

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.
