Richard Eccleston is a political scientist who has devoted his career to analysing and addressing some of the most significant policy challenges facing our community.

Richard is recognised as an international authority on tax policy and the politics of tax reform although in recent years has had the opportunity to work with others on a wide range of policy issues.

Eccleston believes that established academics have an obligation to contribute to public debate and to apply their knowledge and expertise to develop practical evidence-based solutions to the numerous economic, social and environmental challenges we are facing.

While pure research will always be the foundation of knowledge creation, Eccleston believes that universities, as public institutions, have an obligation to engage with and contribute to the communities they serve. Indeed, in the 21^st century knowledge economy, the prosperity of regional communities is largely dependent on establishing strong and productive relationships with universities to drive innovation through research and training.

Since 2014 Eccleston has led the University of Tasmania’s policy engagement as the founding Director of the Institute for Social Change and, since 2020, as the founding Director of the Tasmanian Policy Exchange. Over this time Eccleston has led projects on a wide range of topics from housing affordability, migration, preventative health to campaign finance reform. He works closely with governments of all political persuasions and has provided numerous policy briefings and formal submissions and is a respected political commentator.

“I’m passionate about Tasmania and this community and it’s an enormous privilege to be able to work with others to create a more prosperous, inclusive and sustainable society”

Richard Eccleston is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Tasmanian Policy Exchange at the University of Tasmania. He is a specialist in domestic and comparative political economy whose academic research focuses on taxation policy and public finance.

Research Themes

Richard's research agenda is firmly located in the interdisciplinary field of economic governance in that it focuses on the use of institutions and structures of authority (domestic and international, public and private) to coordinate and control economic activity. The majority of his published research (four of his seven books and the majority of recent articles and chapters) focuses on two key dimensions of the economic policy responses to globalisation. The first strand of this research agenda assesses the impact of globalisation of the politics of domestic economic reform, while the second examines the role of international organisations and governance structures in promoting international cooperation in the context of the current Financial Crisis. This research on economic governance is both theoretically significant and policy relevant. At a practical level it is motivated by important policy questions such as: which political strategies and institutions are most likely to sustain tax reform at a domestic level and which international governance structures and compliance strategies are most likely to promote international tax cooperation? This research on domestic economic reform has made an intellectual contribution to the literature on institutional change by advancing a theory of institutionally situated agency in which contextual variables continue to influence (but not determine) policy change.

Collaboration

All of Richard's major research projects have involved international collaborations.

Awards

2014 – Fulbright Senior Scholar
2009 – UTAS 'Rising Stars' award for outstanding mid-career researcher
2000 – Best Graduate Student Paper in Business Politics: International Political Science Association World Congress

Current projects

Richard's current research agenda consists of three broad elements. The first examines the dynamics and effectiveness of governance systems designed to promote tax reform and cooperation both within and between nation states. At the international level this involves a comparative evaluation of the various frameworks and strategies promoted by international organizations. This ongoing research has benefited from Australian Research Council Funding of $248,400 over the period 2010-15 with preliminary findings reported in monograph The Dynamics of Global Economic Governance: The Financial Crisis, The OECD and the politics of international tax cooperation (Edward Elgar 2012).

Richard's second research agenda concerns domestic funding reform and fiscal sustainability with an emphasis on the reform the Australian Commonwealth Grants Commission regime, the political economy of state and territory tax reform as well as performance auditing and budgeting at the sub-national level. This ongoing research agenda has been awarded funding from the Australian Research Council 2013-15 ($210,354). In 2014 he was awarded a Fulbright Senior Fellowship to continue this research in the United States.

He also maintains a strong interest in politics and governance at the State level. Given his expertise he is a frequent advisor to and commentator on the Tasmanian Government. He also leads a multi-disciplinary research team applying phone-based sensor technology to capture and analyse data on tourist travel patterns within Tasmanian. This project has been awarded $500,000 funding from Sense T and the Australian and Tasmanian Governments.

Interdependence, Transnational Institutions and the Governance of International Taxation in the 21st Century (2010 - 2012)$66,000

Description: Despite widespread predictions that economic globalisation would result in international tax competition, there is surprisingly little evidence of any such race to the bottom to date. This project will shed new light on this puzzle by analysing the extent to which emerging institutions and governance systems have enhanced international cooperation, thus averting unfettered competition, in this important policy arena. This research is both significant and timely, given that the global financial crisis is intensifying competitive tensions between states as national governments pursue unprecedented measures to both attract investment and restore ailing public finances.

Research Supervision

Over the past decade Richard has supervised a number of Honours, Masters and PhD research projects on topics ranging from Australian politics and public policy to comparative and international political economy.

He has also successfully supervised PhD projects. While his preference is to provide intensive supervision to two or three graduate students at any one time, he is always interested in supervising motivated graduate students with a strong honours degree in political science (or equivalent) who share his research interests.
