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
How is China acquiring global influence? In this talk, Richard Carney will show how autocracies with heavy control over the corporate sector and clientelist systems are most attracted to Chinese infrastructure spending and then in turn import more technology from China and become enmeshed in China’s own technical standards regime. Carney will explore how the spread of infrastructure, technology and political influence are interconnected and all contribute to China’s growing influence on the global stage.
Richard Carney engages in political economy research with a focus on business-government relations. He is the author of ‘Authoritarian Capitalism’, which won the 2019 Masayoshi Ohira Memorial Prize for work on the Asia Pacific. Carney is also an advisor to the World Bank for its flagship project ‘Businesses of the State’. Carney is a professor at the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) in Shanghai where he teaches executives and MBA students. He received his PhD in political science from UC San Diego.
