Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
A major part of the complexity of the present and likely future global order has to do with the interaction of the ‘old’ and the ‘new’. On one side, the move from global challenges to planetary imperatives and the impact of new technologies and of new forms of scientific knowledge (on economics, on weapons systems, on patterns of connectivity); and on the other, the ‘old’ logics and dynamics, especially the dynamics of international political competition, geopolitical rivalry, regime insecurity, nationalist self-assertion, violence and major war.
In this month’s Balliol Online Lecture, Professor Hurrell, examines the enormous and extraordinarily dangerous challenges on the global system.
Andrew Hurrell was Montague Burton Professor of International Relations at Oxford University until May 2021. He is now an Emeritus Fellow at Balliol College, an Einstein Visiting Fellow in Berlin, and a Senior Fellow at the Law Faculty in Humboldt University.
He was elected to the Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars in 2011 and to the British Academy in 2011. In 2015 he received the Susan Strange Prize from the International Studies Association, which is awarded for ‘challenging the conventional wisdom and organizational complacency of the international studies community’.
