OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Oxford China Centre & China, Law and Development Book Launch
Hybrid event. Registration required for online attendance.
China remains one of the top capital exporters in the world, yet there is a paucity of reliable sources through which to assess Chinese corporate decision-making, the implementation of Chinese-financed and managed projects, and the socio-economic effects of those projects. The Casebook fills this gap by providing fifteen case studies written by experts and researchers, many from host states and who have first-hand knowledge of the transaction or dispute in question. Case studies are written primarily based on primary source material including transactional documents, interviews with stakeholders, laws and regulations, and case decisions. Educators in professional schools, including law, policy, and business, will find in the Casebook material to supplement class discussions pertaining to Chinese overseas investment, Chinese investment strategies, and the nature of the Chinese firm.
This hybrid event will launch the Casebook by featuring several contributors from around the world who will summarize their findings and three distinguished Oxford readers who will identify how the Casebook can be used for teaching in their respective professional schools. In-person contributors include Aaron Halegua (Aaron Halegua, PLLC), Leigha Crout (Assistant Professor of Law, DePaul University College of Law), Otari Kakhidze (former UNESCO Great Wall Fellow, Tsinghua University School of Law), Dr. Kai-Shen Huang (Director of the Democratic Governance Program, Research Institute for Democracy, Society and Emerging Technology, Taiwan). Readers include Freya Baetens (Professor of Public International Law; Research Director, Oxford Human Rights Hub, University of Oxford Law Faculty), Yeling Tan (Professor of Public Policy, Blavatnik School of Government) and Eric Thun (Peter Moores Associate Professor in Chinese Business Studies at Saïd Business School). Moderated by Casebook editor, Matthew Erie (Associate Professor of Modern Chinese Studies, AMES).
