Dick Bryan joined the Political Economy program in 1984 after a period in the Canberra economic bureaucracy. His primary research interests relate to international capital and financial movements and, within a globally-integrated economic system, the construction of national economic identity. He maintains an on-going interest in Marxian value theory, particularly its application to global economic integration. Dick Bryan’s current research concerns the limitations for national balance of payments categories associated with developments in global financial instruments, and how financial market economists construct particular images of Australia as an economic entity. The latter project is supported by a Large ARC Research Grant. Dr Bryan is the author of two books: The Chase Across the Globe (1995) and (with M. Rafferty) The Global Economy in Australia (1999). He has also published articles on Australian political economy and Marxian value theory. |
