Those residing in communities in regional and remote Australia are further disadvantaged because of the limited formal economic opportunities there. In these areas mining developments may be the major--and sometimes the only--contributors to regional economic development. However Indigenous communities have gained only relatively limited long-term economic development benefits from mining activity on land that they own or over which they have property rights of varying significance. Furthermore, while Indigenous people may place high value on realising particular non-economic benefits from mining agreements, there may be only limited capacity to deliver such benefits. This collection of papers focuses on three large, ongoing mining operations in Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory under two statutory regimes--the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 and the Native Title Act 1993. The authors outline the institutional basis to greater industry involvement while describing and analysing the best practice principles that can be utilised both by companies and Indigenous community organisations"--Publisher's description.Aboriginal AustraliansEconomic conditionsAboriginal AustraliansSocial conditionsMineral industriesAustraliaMineral industriesEnvironmental aspectsAustraliaMineral industriesSocial aspectsAustraliaSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnographybicsscEconomicsbicsscAboriginal AustraliansEconomic conditionsfast(OCoLC)fst00794509Aboriginal AustraliansSocial conditionsfast(OCoLC)fst00794561Mineral industriesfast(OCoLC)fst01022218Mineral industriesEnvironmental aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst01022250Mineral industriesSocial aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst01022315AustraliafastAboriginal AustraliansEconomic conditions.Aboriginal AustraliansSocial conditions.Mineral industriesMineral industriesEnvironmental aspectsMineral industriesSocial aspectsSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnographyEconomicsAboriginal AustraliansEconomic conditions.Aboriginal AustraliansSocial conditions.Mineral industries.Mineral industriesEnvironmental aspects.Mineral industriesSocial aspects.305.89915Altman Jon C.1954-1449434Martin David(David Fernandes)341347UkMaJRU9910765816603321Power, culture, economy3647708UNINA
