OxTalks is Changing
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
Panel Discussion on Economic Diplomacy in a Multipolar World (Online)
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).
