| description | On 23 September 2010, the government of Taiwan moved closer to establishing a
legislative framework for the negotiation of power sharing agreements with the
nation's aboriginal groups when the Cabinet decided to approve the Indigenous
Peoples Self-Government Act. Although the Act still awaits passage by the
Legislature, many stakeholders in aboriginal self-rule are optimistic about this
latest move. Others say the legislation lacks teeth. In many of its policy initiatives,
the ROC government has looked abroad for a blueprint, and Canada is the
Western country that is often promoted as a viable model to follow in this regard.
The purpose of this paper is to contrast the historical and cultural influences of
each nation's relationship with its indigenous population and, given these
variances, identify potential roadblocks to Taiwan's successful implementation of
a viable mechanism for deriving aboriginal self-government agreements based on
the Canadian example, as well as to propose policy recommendations on what
direction relevant legislation should take. |
