We welcome the Chancellor of the University of Oxford, Lord Hague, who will give this year’s James Martin Memorial Lecture on the occasion of the School’s 20th anniversary.

We are living in an era of profound geopolitical and technological change. William Hague will outline how far today’s age of instability is a departure from the Cold War period and the optimistic decades that followed, and what today’s new era of danger and excitement means for the environment, health, society and economics. The Chancellor will go on to discuss how countries, institutions and individuals can cultivate resilience and embrace reinvention in order to succeed in this new era of instability.
