Clive Edwards is a retired academic. An economist. Phd from ANU 1966. I mainly worked in Universities (ANU, University of Queensland). In the late 70s I spent a year as academic in residence with DFA where one of my roles was to provide advice to the then Foreign Minister, Andrew Peacock, on economic developments in Asia and the implications for Australia. This area has been my principal focus and I have had quite extensive experience in East Asia, particularly in the countries of South East Asia together with Taiwan and South Korea. I live in Brisbane.
