Ethnic Group Land Rights in the Modern State: Three Case Studies

View through CrossRef
All over the world, conflicts of interest arise in modern states between government agencies charged with constructing large public works and citizens whose occupancy of the lands involved would be altered. Such conflicts are compounded when the land in dispute is held by a special ethnic enclave enjoying unique legal status — Indians on reservations in the United States, ejidos in Mexico, or comunidades indígenas in Peró, aborgines in Australia, Maori in New Zealand, "scheduled castes" in India, etc.
