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
Japan’s integration into the Janus-faced international society has long been shaped by processes of state socialization, where norms, rules, and expectations influence its diplomatic conduct. From the 19th century onwards, how has Japan navigated pressures to conform to the international society? What lessons can be drawn from Japan’s experience for broader discussions on international political reconciliation?
Prof Tomoko Okagaki (Ph.D., University of Michigan) is a leading scholar in international politics at Dokkyo University, specializing in state socialization, comparative regionalism, and the political thought of international relations. She is the author of The Logic of Conformity: Japan’s Entry in International Society (2013) and Basis of International Politics: Foundational Concepts and Theories (2021). Her extensive academic career includes visiting positions at Harvard University, the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and Oxford, where she is currently focusing on British approaches to international relations theory and the politics of reconciliation.
