Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
This event will look at the military situation unfolding in Ukraine—how the invasion has developed, and what we know now about both militaries—and examines its political implications for Ukraine, Russia, NATO countries, and globally. Prussian general and military theorist Carl von Clausewitz famously remarked that war is the continuation of politics by other means. But he also noted that war is ‘the realm of uncertainty’ and ‘the realm of chance’, with unanticipated outcomes on the battlefield changing the political calculus. Given this uncertainty, how might the war in Ukraine end, if indeed it does?
