From Conflict to Cooperation

摘要: Instead of constant conflict in every encounter, there is now a widespread approach of sophisticated faceto-face engagement that fosters discussion rather than argument. This has resulted in the adoption of good practices in negotiation and agreement-making between parties.This relationship has been positively transformed by more than 20 years of reform in the rights of Indigenous Australians and innovative engagement on the part of the minerals industry. The hard-won transformation from one of acrimonious conflict to mutually beneficial agreementmaking has produced substantial Indigenous employment and enterprise outcomes.
