Claire Charters has posted “Engaging with the Public: Synergies between Democracy and Indigenous Peoples’ Rights” on SSRN.

Here is the abstract:

There is a belief that Indigenous peoples’ rights are undemocratic because they privilege the interests of some individuals and groups over others, contrary to the fundamental principle of one person, one vote.  In this paper, I explain ways in which, in fact, Indigenous peoples’ rights are consistent with democratic and other liberal ideas, such as self-determination. 

Highly recommended!!!
