Indigenous Peoples Resource Management and Global Rights

Rapid industrial development and urban growth increasingly threaten indigenous peoples and their ways of life. As a result, a grassroots movement is spreading among indigenous cultures, and the 1992 Rio Earth Summit catalyzed a UN legal investigation. Indigenous Peoples challenges the assumption that these processes are empowering indigenous peoples in tangible ways by examining the ongoing work, and offers a detailed analysis of the legal, political and institutional implications. This volume is an engaging study of the issues involved in indigenous peoples' rights.Jentoft, Svein is the author of 'Indigenous Peoples Resource Management and Global Rights', published 2004 under ISBN 9789051669787 and ISBN 905166978X.
