On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In response to massive popular protest, Romania appointed a technocratic government in December 2015, which lasted until parliamentary elections in December 2016. The Social Democrat Party (PSD) government elected in December 2016 once again generated even more massive protests in February 2017, when it attempted to railroad a change to the Penal Code that would have decriminalised some corruption, coincidentally including the leader of the PSD. The seminar will look at the challenges the technocratic government faced during its life and what its long term impact might be, particularly on popular expectations of government and of the rule of law.
