About David
David Price serves as Emeritus Professor in Public International Law and Intellectual Property Law at Charles Darwin University’s School of Law, within the Asia Pacific College of Business and Law. He possesses degrees in law, international relations, industrial history, and Chinese. Over a career exceeding fifty years, Professor Price has held academic and management positions in institutions across Australia, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Europe, China, and the Middle East. Notably, he arrived in Darwin in early 1989 as the Foundation University Registrar for the Northern Territory University, which later became CDU, where he spent over thirty years contributing to its international reputation and research development in various capacities. He retired as Professor of International Law in July 2022 and was conferred the title of Emeritus Professor in May 2023.
Professor Price’s primary research interests lie at the intersection of intellectual property law, public international law, and international trade agreements, with a particular emphasis on the development and enforcement of intellectual property regimes in the Arabian Gulf states and other Middle Eastern countries. His scholarship extends to investor-state dispute settlement mechanisms, trade dispute resolution, ASEAN dynamics, traditional knowledge and cultural heritage, Indonesian foreign policy, and regional energy policies, drawing on exemplars from the Middle East, Indonesia, and Australia. He has authored and co-authored numerous works, including the seminal "Infidels at the Gates: Intellectual Property Legal Regimes in the Arabian Gulf States"; "Protecting Intellectual Property in the Arabian Peninsula: The GCC States, Jordan and Yemen" (Routledge Cavendish, 2018, with Dr. Alhanoof AlDebasi); "50 Years of ASEAN: Reviewing ASEAN Centrality and Unity" (Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Jakarta, 2017, with Dr. Siswo Pramono); and "Intellectual Property in Australia: Commentary and Materials," 6th edition (Thomson Reuters, 2017, with Bodkin, Arnold, and Aoun). A recognized authority in his field, he has delivered conference presentations worldwide, held visiting professorships in Indonesia and China, and continues to supervise higher degree research students at CDU. Additionally, he is a member of the Law Association for Asia and the Pacific (LAWASIA), serves on the editorial board of Sultan Qaboos University’s Law Faculty, and holds board memberships with the International Indonesia Foundation, the Northern Territory Council of Law Reporting, and the Northern Territory Law Journal.
