OxTalks is Changing
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
An end to ‘Merkelism’? German decision-making in the Eurozone crisis as stigma management
Light lunch provided
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.’
