Abstract
Vincent and Elinor Ostrom defined polycentricity as a complex form of governance with multiple, semi-autonomous centres of decision making. Australian researchers Dr Shann Turnbull, Prof Natalie Stoianoff and Prof Anne Poelina explore how the polycentric self-governance of Australian Indigenous societies can inform modern governance and safeguard the wellbeing of humanity and natural ecosystems.
