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.
The mainstream narrative in the West posits that Donald Trump has upended the ‘rules-based international order’. However, a transition in the international order was already in full swing long before Trump came to office, driven by an increasingly multi-polar balance of power and a series of actions that revealed the hypocrisy of Western foreign policy — both developments that called into question the legitimacy of Western leadership in the world. In addition to transnational challenges such as climate change, the world now faces Trump’s iconoclasm and the conflicts he inherited (from Ukraine to Gaza) at the same time.
For 18 months, the Quincy Institute under the aegis of the Better Order Project convened more than 130 leading experts and practitioners from across the world to generate concrete recommendations for how to stabilize an international order that is transitioning away from unipolarity and Western leadership. Its landmark report was published in November 2024. Please join us for a discussion on how the world might construct a more durable and inclusive order amid today’s varied sources of chaos and change.
