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
On 15 November 2023, leaders of the European Union (EU) and 79 states in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific (ACP) will meet in Samoa to sign the successor to the Cotonou Agreement, which will govern their relations for at least 20 years across various policy areas, namely development, migration, environment and climate change, peace and security, human rights and democracy, trade and investment. Drawing on a wide range of literature strands and capitalising on his active engagement with the two negotiating teams, Professor Carbone will expose the different logics and dynamics that characterised the making of the Samoa Agreement, from the contentious adoption of the two negotiating mandates to the impasse arising from the obstructive behaviour of two EU Member States after the conclusion of the negotiations.
Chair: Othon Anastasakis, St Antony’s College, University of Oxford
