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
This research project critically engages with the question of what motivated German decision-making in the Eurozone crisis, and specifically, in the negotiations over Greek financial assistance after January 2015 – a period that arguably remains underspecified by dominant IR and European politics approaches. To this end, I propose a sociological, actor-centred framework with which to study German decision-making as a case of ‘stigma management.’ Drawing on data from a wide range of elite interviews, I argue that from January 2015 onwards, Germany’s moral standing in the European community was directly challenged, inducing a shift in the negotiation climate that shaped its decision-makers’ strategic and social concern for saving ‘face.’
