Contributor Biography
Dr. Brawley received his BA in political economy from Berkeley in 1982, took a year off, then went to UCLA for graduate work in political science. At UCLA, he studied under several excellent professors, including: Art Stein, David Lake, Jeff Frieden, Ron Rogowski and Richard Rosecrance. After completing his Ph.D in 1989, he began teaching at McGill in 1990 (he has been at McGill ever since, except for a one-year teaching stint at Harvard in 2000).
His area of expertise is international political economy (or IPE), with interest in both trade and international financial relations. His research sometimes focuses exclusively on issues within IPE, but it often examines the connections between political economic issues and security. He has written two books on hegemonic leadership in the international system – Liberal Leadership (Cornell University Press, 1993) and Afterglow or Adjustment? (Columbia University Press, 1999) – as well as several articles on the subject.
He is currently researching the politics of trade, with interest in liberalization and domestic adjustment during globalization. He is the author of Power, Money & Trade (Broadview, 2005) and his sixth book, Political Economy and Grand Strategy: A Neoclassical Realist View, will be published by Routledge this year.
