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.
Join us and our distinguished speakers for a panel discussion on how economic diplomacy is conducted in the 21st century! We will cover how and why China expanded its economic influence to rival US-led institutions; how partner countries on the African continent assess their economic cooperation with either superpower to date; and how the shifting geopolitical landscape redistributes bargaining power and impacts countries’ aims vis-à-vis economic diplomacy, including on the question of political values. We will leave ample time for our audience to engage with speakers in an open Q&A afterwards.
Speakers: Dr. Alex Vines OBE (Chatham House, Head of Africa Programme and Research Director of Regions and Risk), Dr. Emmanuel Ikechukwu Umeonyirihoa (Organization of African Academic Doctors, Sino-African Relationship Expert), and Hannah Grupp (World Bank, Analyst at the Office of the Chief Economist, Africa Region). Moderator: Nicolas Lippolis (University of Oxford, DPhil Candidate in Politics, Co-convenor of the China-Africa Network).
