Behrendt, Larissa

Resolving Indigenous Disputes Land conflict and beyond - The Federation Press 2008 - 160

KEYWORDS: Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders, Dispute resolution, Mediation, Native Title, Conflict Management, Indigenous studies

This book looks at the way in which dispute resolution processes can be developed to more effectively empower Aboriginal people and assist with the more equitable and satisfactory resolution of disputes between Aboriginal people and between Aboriginal people and other groups.

It uses conflict around land, particularly at the intersection between land claim and native title as its focus. These have been identified through extensive field research.

The book also explores the building of models of alternative dispute resolution processes based on Aboriginal cultural values and world views. It provides practical tools to practitioners who are seeking to find more effective ways of dealing with conflict in Aboriginal communities or between Aboriginal communities and other stakeholders.
