Arbitration in native title and the possible contribution of anthropologists

Summary: In this podcast I briefly outline the different forms of dispute resolution used to settle native title claims, including litigation and mediation before focusing on the emerging option of arbitration. I draw on interviews with distinguished legal practitioners as well as my own experience as an arbitrator to examine how arbitration differs from the other approaches, and identify the potential contribution anthropologists can make to that process.
