OxTalks is Changing
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
IMF programs and technical assistance in the Balkans-what has been achieved?
The first part of this presentation reviews the record, in a quantitative manner, of IMF programs in Southeastern Europe (not including Greece) over the past ten years. It also examines the evolving nature of IMF access (scale of financing) and conditionality in the region over this period. The second part of the presentation will attempt to answer the question why technical assistance often fails. An attempt will be made to extrapolate some general principles from the author’s experience of working in Southeastern Europe. What does and does not work, and why?
