Funded Activity Summary

Beyond the pale: Sovereignty, Law and Indigenous peoples. The project contributes to understanding inequality in law and practice. It expands knowledge of the colonial dimensions of sovereignty, demonstrating how excluding Indigenous peoples from the ordinary operations of both international and domestic law helped constitute and transform sovereignty and produce racialised identities in settler societies. The research provides a new, more comprehensive conceptual framework for analysing frontier practices, ameliorating the polarising effects of recent debates surrounding this historiography. As the war on terrorism has again seen the suspension of the law in certain circumstances, investigations into the strengths and limits of the rule of law are opportune and timely.
