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
Regime Complex for human genetic data has become an increasingly important issue. This study will explore the evolution of the regime complex for human genetic data in relation to global governance in the past half-century. Given that existing theories fail to explain the pattern of such evolution, a multi-actor analysis framework is applied in this study. It is argued that interactions between agencies outside the regime complex, and a combination of the power of the individuals involved and the agenda of the governing institutions help shape the evolution of regime complex. This presentation will also discuss the new challenges for the emerging global governance of genetic resources and explore innovative strategies to address such challenges.
