OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Almost exactly 100 years ago, John Maynard Keyes described the 19th century era of globalization as ‘unusual, unstable, complicated, unreliable and temporary’. Keynes’ warnings about the threat that economic conflict posed to a lasting peace seemed to come true after the great reversal of globalization in the 1930s. As we seem poised to enter another retreat from open markets, it is appropriate to reflect on what historians have revealed about the fragility of the international economic system and the elaborate, if often hidden, apparatus that supported the return to globalization in the late 20th century.
