Anti-Indigenous attitudes and divided support
Introduction to the special issue ‘A profound reorganising of things’
Thinking through the history of Liberia's formation with settler colonial theory
Reclaiming democracy through Indigenous self-determination
Handbook of Indigenous Public Policy
This ground-breaking Handbook explores the key legal, political and policy questions concerning the implementation of Indigenous rights across the world. Expert contributors analyse the complex dynamics of contestation, engagement, advocacy and refusal between governments and Indigenous Peoples, presenting a profound challenge to mainstream policy scholarship.
Treaty and public policy in the settler colonies
Treaties between Indigenous Peoples and settler states are a key factor that facilitates or obstructs the exercise of Indigenous sovereignties. Across the CANZUS settler states (Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States), all but Australia have historical treaties, and even Australia is now embarking on treaty-making processes with Indigenous Peoples, at least at the subnational level. This chapter considers what might be learned from …
Public Policy and Indigenous Futures
The Truth Will Set You Free? The Promises and Pitfalls of Truth‐Telling for Indigenous Emancipation
First Nations in Australia are beginning to grapple with processes of treaty‐making with state governments and territories. As these processes gain momentum, truth‐telling has become a central tenet of imagining Indigenous emancipation and the possibility of transforming relationships between Indigenous and settler peoples. Truth, it is suggested, will enable changed ways of knowing what and who “Australia” is. These dynamics assume that truth‐te…
Public Policy and Indigenous Futures
Mapping the spatial politics of Australian settler colonialism
Cartography has historically been a weapon of colonists used to demarcate land stolen by empire. More recently, however, ‘critical cartographies’ have emerged as a means of critiquing colonial discourses, revealing maps as representations of the dominating ideologies that produce them. This article explores a series of ongoing questions raised by our own work seeking to map the intersection of colonial and Indigenous governance regimes in so-call…
Agonistic reconciliation
In settler colonial societies like Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States, Indigenous–state relations are defined by ongoing conflict over unresolved questions of sovereignty, self-determination, and land. These conflicts have remained intractable regardless of the policy approaches engineered by the state. This article outlines an analytical approach to agonistic reconciliation by mapping the polar ends of a spectrum of responses t…
Questioning Indigenous-Settler Relations
Whose politics and which science? Rethinking the discipline in the context of Australian settler colonial relationships
In the United Kingdom and America, political scientists are involved in increasingly intense conversations about the implication of the discipline in racial and colonial hierarchies. As a recent volume by Bhambra, Gebrial and Nisancioglu begins, ‘the call to decolonise univeristies across the global north has gained particular traction in recent years’ (2018, 1). In the contemporary ‘post-race’ world, these interventions insist on the importance …
New collaborations in old institutional spaces
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people navigate the social and political order of the Australian settler state in ways that seek to increase their personal freedoms and political autonomy. For some groups this means seeking a firmer place within the social, political and economic life of Australia, and for others it means navigating away, towards a more distant relationship based in the resurgence of Indigenous nationhood. This navigation i…
The Treaty's Going to Give the Recognition that this Wasn't Right' - Optimism and Pessimism in Non-Indigenous Attitudes to Treaties in Australia
Like other settler-colonial societies, Australia over the last half-century or so has been the site for a lengthy and involved discussion about the need for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples to reconstitute the relationship between them, recognising past injustices and forestalling future conflict. Unlike those other countries, however, Australia and its states lack a history of treaties and treaty law to ground that discussion. While the ide…
The Limits of the Administration of Memory in Settler Colonial Societies
Conflict dynamics and agonistic dialogue on historical violence
This article contends that the type of high-level political consensus needed to reach a peace agreement is often insufficient for rebuilding and transforming wider social relations. Consensus-focused processes tend to suppress divergent views and experiences of conflict, particularly among grassroots conflict actors, and risk deepening social divides by homogenising diverse memories of past violence, with potentially dangerous consequences. In re…
Settler Colonialism and Genocide in Australia
However, this book argues that fictional representation occupies an equally important and problematic place in the process of shaping minds on the subject
Can we reconcile? Understanding the multi-level challenges of conflict transformation
Reconciliation and conflict transformation require simultaneous effort across several socio-political levels. This article advances both a conceptual and an empirical argument to frame reconciliation and conflict transformation in these terms. First, the article draws on theories of agonistic democracy to argue for the intrinsic and potentially productive role of non-violent conflict in reconciliation efforts that accept conflict as both enduring…
Reconciliation, transformation, struggle
Reconciliation is a concept and political practice applied in many different contexts, from the immediate aftermath of post-apartheid South Africa, to the settler colonies of Australia and Canada
Recognise what? The limitations of settler colonial constitutional reform
n settler colonial societies such as Australia, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people have turned to constitutional reform as a means of addressing historical exclusions and colonial injustice. In practice, however, the promise of constitutionalism has revealed clear limits. This article explores these limits in the context of the current Australian campaign for the constitutional ‘recognition’ of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples…
Non-Indigenous Australians and the 'Responsibility to Engage
National projects of reconciliation in settler colonial countries such as Australia are predicated on assumptions about non-Indigenous willingness to engage with the cultures and histories of Indigenous peoples. However, empirical research consistently finds such attitudes are far from universal. This article reports findings from focus groups with non-Indigenous peoples conducted at four locations around Australia during 2014. The goal was to se…

Relational Transformation and Agonistic Dialogue in Divided Societies
In societies emerging from conflict and violence, achieving a peaceful political settlement is an important goal. In most situations, however, achieving this goal is not enough to transform underlying conflicts rooted in history and identity. Rather, it is understood that what is needed in such situations is ongoing effort towards the transformation of underlying historical and relational conflict. But while high profile events such as truth comm…
Indigenous identity, 'authenticity' and the structural violence of settler colonialism
In many ways, the structural violence of settler colonialism continues to dominate the lived experience of Indigenous populations, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in contemporary Australia. One aspect of this structural violence concerns the regulation of Indigenous identity, today perpetuated through state monitoring of the 'authenticity' of Aboriginal people. This article argues that the contest over Indigenous identity …
Democratic constraint and embrace
The advocacy work of non-government organisations can be either constrained or embraced by government attitudes and practices. Although it is widely accepted that NGOs are an essential component of a healthy and robust democracy, serving as essential intermediaries between community and government, and providing a voice for marginalised groups to make claims on governments between elections, the current dominance of the public choice paradigm in …

White Parliament, Black Politics
Australia's parliaments remain fundamentally white institutions. Since Federation, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been poorly represented – or not represented at all – in the nation's State, Territory and Commonwealth legislatures. Today there remains an ambivalent assessment of the capacity for parliamentary representation to actually deliver meaningful change for Indigenous peoples. This article examines the complexities invo…

Reconciliation is a concept and political practice applied in many different contexts, from the immediate aftermath of post-apartheid South Africa, to the settler colonies of Australia and Canada
Peacebuilding and the postcolonial politics of transitional justice
The literature on transitional justice tends to conceive of transition as a bounded process that takes place immediately following a conflict, rather than envision the process as part of building peace. Significantly, this literature tends to separate historical conflict and contemporary transition. While the similarities between historical and recent conflict are often acknowledged, the remedies available under the transitional justice framework…
Mental health and resilience at older ages
Resilience is relatively rare and favours older women. It is fostered by high levels of social support existing before exposure to adversity
Evidence and Contestation in the Indigenous Policy Domain
There is a tension in the evidence‐based policy paradigm as it concerns Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, particularly with regard to their standing as evidence providers. Aboriginal people in Australia have primarily been seen as a ‘problem to be solved’ and racialised views of Aboriginal competence have allowed for past policy, now recognised as harmful, to be justified as being ‘for their own good’. This article considers some of t…

Indigenous autonomy matters
On 21 June 2007, the (then) Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard, announced an ‘emergency intervention’ into Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory. The intervention was justified as a crisis response to allegations of widespread child sexual abuse in Aboriginal communities, allegations contained in the Ampe Akelyernemane Meke Mekarle: ‘Little Children Are Sacred’ report. The terms of the intervention were far-ranging, including the…

Postcolonial guilt and national identity
In nations with a record of historical injustice, guilt about the past is deeply implicated in both efforts towards reconciliation and the construction of national identity. This is as true in notionally postcolonial nations, where past injustice is often denied or avoided, as it is in situations where conflict and injustice have been more recent, overt or visible to the rest of the world. Taking the Australian case as an example, this article co…
Ideas from ‘across the ditch’? Wedge politics in the 2005 New Zealand election
The 2005 New Zealand election campaign saw the use by the opposition National Party of a racialised and highly divisive 'wedge politics'. Tensions between Mäori and Pakeha that had previously been managed through care and compromise were inflamed by talk of a New Zealand mainstream and the need for 'one law for all'. In the context of a difficult national debate about Mäori rights to foreshore and seabed, this talk had strong echoes of recent Aus…
Young Women in the Australian Women’s Movement
This article explores and documents the role of young women in the contemporary Australian women’s movement. Through case studies of two very different groups of young women, working in submerged networks in the community and on university campuses, it aims to suggest the diversity of contemporary young feminist praxis. Further, it argues that the work that these young women are doing in discursively creating and maintaining a feminist political …

Introduction to ‘Surviving Neoliberalism
This article considers the survival tactics and successes of Australian social movements during the Howard years (1996–2007). It explores how movements might operate in a political environment that is hostile and bereft of opportunities, and where the strategies of government seek to exclude deliberately progressive collective voices. The article examines theories of neoliberalism and neoconservatism and shows how these came together in the Austr…

Lessons to be learned
The article assesses the impact of the Howard years on non-government advocacy organisations in Australia. It stresses the importance of advocacy in civil society, and in representative democracy. It outlines how this role was undermined, including with regard to the manipulation of contracting-out arrangements. It argues that to regain their former role advocacy organisations will need to reassess their relationships with government-including th…

Human rights imperatives and the failings of the Stronger Futures consultation process
In 2011, the Australian federal government embarked on a consultation process intended to advance its policy agenda with regard to Indigenous peoples in the Northern Territory. This article examines the conduct of these consultations. It begins by examining the significance of consultation within human rights discourse, before examining the specific concerns associated with the 2011 consultation. We argue that, from this perspective, the Stronger…
