Based on an appropriate framework, critically analyze the Government’s Economic Strategy on this issue and propose suggestions/improvements of your own in meeting this target by 2018. Your discussion should refer to how you take into account the sources of economic inequality (‘the gap’) between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians and how your own social position influenced your thinking about the best strategy to achieve this target. Details • there are two former economic development strategies from the Australian Government and the Cape York Institute that take different approaches. As with the ‘Biddle’ reading, the Cape York Institute follows a capabilities approach and you may want to use the capabilities approach to consider the issues. • The final part of the assessment asks you to think about your own social position and how that has influenced your thinking about the best strategy to close the gap. One or two paragraphs towards the end of the body of the essay is all that is required for this and it should be seen as a caveat to your argument in the paper. That is, you can qualify your argument by stating that your views are affected by your own social position or strengthen your argument by explaining how you have derived your analysis from an ‘initial position’. • You will need a minimum of 6 references including the 3 listed above as essential reading. These could be academic articles and books, textbooks or United Nations or other organization’s development proposals. Due Friday 3rd March 12noon Sydney time
