Description
Governance processes often fail to integrate Indigenous perspectives or address issues such as sovereignty, self-determination, and decolonization, making successful policy outcomes difficult to achieve. It is vital for Indigenous and non-Indigenous governments to collaborate in producing sustainable, mutually beneficial outcomes. This volume highlights the importance of authentic Indigenous inclusion in governance processes at national and subnational levels worldwide. Through case studies and best-practice models, it examines the opportunities and barriers Indigenous Peoples face in collaborative governance. In doing so, it offers recommendations for practice and policy that promote social equity.

All chapters are well-written, informative, and insightful." * Duane A. Gill, Virginia Tech"This is an important book that highlights not just the need for inclusive research but also how to apply these approaches to those who are learning and looking to change their work to be inclusive." * Stefanie Kunze, Northern Arizona University
