OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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).
