Description
This thesis explores this phenomenon as practice: how joint management works now, and how it can to be as it is. The work explains how the now accepted 'best model' for joint management - a legal arrangement based on land ownership by Aboriginal people, lease back to the state under negotiated conditions, a governing board of management with an Aboriginal majority does not, on its own, satisfy either partner. The author shows that traditional owners and white actors representing the state must negotiate contradictions on many levels.,
