- Summary:
-
The author explores why a government would choose to implement a negotiation policy, where it commits itself to a long-run strategy of negotiation over a number of claims and over a significant course of time. Through an examination strongly grounded in archival research of post-WWII government decision-making in four established democracies, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States, the author argues that negotiation policies emerge when indigenous people mobilize politically prior to significant judicial determinations on land rights, and not after judicial change alone. The book links collective action and judicial change to explain the emergence of new policy institutions.
