    Some uses of type theory in the analysis of language
    (Canberra, Dept. of Philosophy, Research School of Social Sciences, Australian National University, 1974, 1974) Rennie, M. K.
    In this monograph, Church’s formulation of the simple theory of types is applied to two areas of current concern in logic, namely the theory of predicate modifiers and the logic of intensional discourse. In such a formulation, the theory of predicate modifiers becomes both more general and more ramified than in previous formulations, and the notation and theory provided for intensional logics has considerable generality and utility in philosophical applications. A number of problems are posed throughout the monograph: in these cases the system used allows formal presentation of philosophical problems and should aid in their solution

    Sterling and regional payments systems.
    (Melbourne : Melbourne University Press in association with The Australian National University, [1956], 1956) Perkins, J. O. N. (James Oliver Newton),
    The years following World War II saw various attempts to work towards the restoration of world-wide multilateralism of trade and payments, notably in the establishment of the International Monetary Fund and through the negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and also towards the formation of an International Trade Organization — which never came to fruition.

    Ethnography and the Australian drug field: Emaciation, appropriation and multidisciplinary myopia
    (2002) Moore, David
    In this paper, I provide a critical commentary on the current state of drug ethnography in Australia. I identify and discuss funding problems and the appropriation of ethnography by qualitative and quantitative researchers, both of which undermine the credibility and potential contribution of ethnography to the Australian drug field. I also interrogate the much-heralded but little-scrutinised idea of 'multidisciplinary drug research', drawing on examples of non-drug multidisciplinary research to argue that, while multidisciplinary drug research is a worthy goal, the research vision offered by advocates of such research is frequently an intellectually impoverished one. I conclude by suggesting possible ways to strengthen Australia's capacity to conduct both stand-alone ethnographic drug research and high-quality multidisciplinary drug research involving ethnography.
