OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The lecture will provide an overview of the various influences on the current UK Strategic Culture that are strongly connected to the use, or misuse, of historical precedent as their underlining rationale for existence. The main focus will be on economic, political and military power within the UK’s strategic culture matrix
