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
China and the United States are heading for a war that neither wants. According to Professor Graham Allison (Harvard), the reason is Thucydides’s Trap, a deadly pattern of structural stress that results when a rising power challenges a ruling one.
Join Oxford University International Relations Society and Oxford Diplomatic Society to revisit Thucydides’s Trap as Donald Trump has returned to the White House and renewed tensions between the United States and China seem inevitable. Is Thucydides’s Trap really the best lens for understanding U.S.-China relations in the twenty-first century? What painful steps do the United States and China must take to avoid disaster today?
Professor Allison is the Douglas Dillon Professor of Government at Harvard University and a graduate of Hertford College (PPE, 1964). This event is open to all members of the University of Oxford, and we encourage interested participants to register via the link below.
Members of Oxford University International Relations Society are cordially invited to the drinks reception with Prof Allison at the Common Room of Manor Road Building from 4-5 pm.
