Wingert, D. Beavon, and P. Maxim (eds.). Thompson Educational Publishing, Inc.: Toronto, pp. 159-170. This paper is an early product of an ongoing, comparative research project on Indigenous governance in the United States, Canada,Australia, and New Zealand. Focusing here on the first three of these countries,Cornell examines the recent rise of governance as an Indigenous issue and raises a number of research and policy matters related to the comparative analysis of Indigenous governance. He summarizes some preliminary findings and lays out a further research agenda that could benefit both Indigenous and non-Indigenous policy-makers.

Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy and Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development: Tucson, AZ, and Cambridge, MA 39pp. ISBN 978-1-931143-33-2 [pdf] This paper argues that there is strong evidence from the United States that effective solutions to indigenous poverty depend on, among other things, Indigenous self-determination. After making the case for comparative analysis among these four settings, it summarizes the U.S. evidence and considers its applicability to the situations of Indigenous peoples in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy and Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development: Tucson, AZ, and Cambridge, MA 24pp. ISBN 10: 1-931143-32-3 [pdf] This paper examines how the actions of Native nations themselves can either undermine or strengthen their own enterprises, focusing on five factors that Indigenous nations can control but that sometimes are ignored in the effort to build successful, nation-owned businesses: clarity about enterprise goals; effective management of the politics-business connection; the purpose, power, and composition of enterprise boards of directors; independent and reliable resolution of disputes; and the need to educate the community about enterprise goals and activity.
