Beschreibung
"Modern Indigenous Economies" explores how Indigenous communities worldwide are reshaping economic landscapes while preserving cultural values. The book examines the resurgence of indigenous economic agency, moving beyond profit maximization to emphasize cultural preservation, social equity, and environmental sustainability. A key insight is how these communities are leveraging traditional knowledge and innovative strategies to achieve economic independence. The book is structured into three parts: foundational principles, models of entrepreneurship, and the role of policy and finance. Case studies from North America, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand illustrate how Indigenous businesses adapt traditional practices to modern markets, succeeding in sectors like tourism and renewable energy. The book highlights the challenges in accessing capital and navigating regulations while emphasizing collaborative partnerships for sustainable growth. It also addresses the tension between economic development and maintaining cultural identity, showcasing initiatives that prioritize community well-being. Drawing from empirical research and first-person accounts, the book showcases qualitative methodologies capturing the lived experiences of Indigenous peoples. It serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and anyone interested in fostering equitable and sustainable societies through indigenous-led economic development.
