This comprehensive text, now in its third edition, takes a broad look at native title, firmly situating the development of native title law in Australia in context and allowing for historical perspective at the same time as contemplating future trends in the law. This edition contains a discussion of several recent High Court decisions on native title - Akiba v Commonwealth (2013), Karpany v Dietman (2013) and Western Australia v Brown (2014) - as well as a reflection on the two decades that have elapsed since the decision in Mabo v Queensland (No 2) (1992). A new Part 5 has been added to this edition, titled "Right to Negotiate, Agreement and Settlements and Compensation", reflecting the growing importance of settlement agreements in native title disputes.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
