Academic political scientists should make informed contributions to public debate within their field of expertise. It’s a central part of our community engagement mission.
I am happy provide comment or interviews on issues concerning economic policy and governance and public sector reform. My specific expertise lies in the area of taxation policy, public finance and business regulation at the domestic and international/global levels.
I have written opinion pieces and given interviews for various Australian media outlets and appear regularly on ABC Tasmania’s TV current affairs program, Stateline.
Research in the United Kingdom and France
I am visiting the UK and France between late-August and mid-October 2009 to conduct interviews, hold meetings, undertake archival work and give seminars in London, at various British universities and at the OECD in Paris. This research will be reported in my forthcoming book The Dynamics of Global Governance: The OECD, The Global Financial Crisis and the transformation of international tax regulation. The book will be published by Edward Elgar in late 2010.
