Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
