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
This is an informal workshop to discuss and critique the conceptual framework of the “long” 20th century (ca. 1860–2022) proposed in Patrick O. Cohrs’ recent book The New Atlantic Order. The Transformation of International Politics, 1860–1933 (Cambridge, 2022).
Following an introduction of the “long” 20th century interpretation, we aim to talk about its relevance for the study of global history and nternational relations. The debate will focus on how far this approach can indeed serve to open up new perspectives – on the overall transformation of the international order; on war, peace, security and reconstruction; on learning processes; on transnational movements and developments; on global, regional and national histories; on empires, imperialism and decolonisation; on changes in dominant ideas and ideologies – or any other aspects that the participants wish to discuss
