原住民族自治與善治── Nisga’a 自治的發展與挑戰

Indigenous Self-government and Good Governance in Nisga’a: Developments and Challenges

加拿大Nisga’a 原住民族在1998 年與政府簽訂最終協定，並開始展開自治。經過多年的實踐，面對的課題是自治與善治，特別是對政治、社會、經濟、文化、以及土地有何影響。究竟以族群為主體所建構的政府體制，是否陷入族群分歧的深淵？原住民族自治是否比原先的行政體制更好？

After signing a comprehensive agreement with the Canadian government in 1998, Nisga’a has undertaken self-government for more than a decade. While pursuing the ideal of self-rule, new issues are emerging? Would self-government facilitate good governance at the same time? What political, social, economic, and cultural consequences have been witnessed? Would a self-government based on ethnicity lead to ethnic cleavages? And is self-government really better than the former administrative arrangements?
