Why did the Nisga'a Nation introduce property rights that can be traded in the market? And how have communities such as the Membertou First Nation sustained control over their lands in the face of economic pressures for saleable rights? This book explores the contrasting approaches to land rights illustrated by four Indigenous communities in Canada - the Westbank, Membertou, Nisga'a, and James Bay Cree Nations. Jamie Baxter traces how local leaders set the course of land rights and development in their communities during formative periods of legal and economic upheaval. Drawing on new research about institutional change in organizational settings such as business firms and labour unions, Baxter uses game theory to explore how community leaders have sustained inalienable land rights without turning to either persuasion or coercive force - the two levers of power normally associated with political leadership. Inalienable Properties challenges the view liberalized land markets are the inevitable result of legal and economic change. It shows how inalienability can result from intentional choices and is linked to structures of decision-making that have long-lasting consequences for communities."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $x Land tenure $z Canada $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $z Canada $x Politics and government $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Canada. 650 0 $a Land use $z Canada. 650 5 $a Native peoples $z Canada $x Claims. 650 7 $a Indigenous peoples $x Land tenure. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970244 650 7 $a Indigenous peoples $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970247 650 7 $a Indigenous peoples $x Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970250 650 7 $a Land use. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00991472 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 776 08 $i Online version: $a Baxter, Jamie, 1982- $t Inalienable properties. $d Vancouver ; Toronto : UBC Press, 2020 $z 9780774863445 $z 9780774863445 $w (OCoLC)1141251874 830 0 $a Law and society series (Vancouver, B.C.) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021022402.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9C15D44E403511EB87AA299C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
