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
The human and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has provoked sharp adjustment in the policy priorities of countries in Central and South Eastern Europe. The crisis laid bare underlying strengths and weaknesses, and the response has involved unprecedented government intervention and stimulus measures. There is a sense of emerging new constellations of interests, which may mean that countries cannot go back to the status quo ante.
The webinar will discuss the main features of policy adjustments in selected countries of the region, and how and why developments differ across those countries. Looking forward, a fundamental question is whether these changes will lead to a permanent reorientation—for instance, in the allocation of government spending, the size of government, and government’s role in the financial sector. A related issue is what post-COVID policy will mean for economic integration of the region.
