SUMMARY:Virtual Roundtable: Integration of Ukraine in the EU – Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nMaria Popova (Associate Professor and Jean Monnet Chair at McGill University) \nTimothy Garton Ash (Professor of European Studies and Isaiah Berlin Professorial Fellow at St Antony’s College\, Oxford University\, and a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution\, Stanford University) \nMilada Vachudova (Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina) \nRoman Petrov (Head of Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence and Jean Monnet Chair in EU Law at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy) \nDaniel Bilak (OXGS Fellow and Senior Counsel at Kinstellar\, served as Chief Investment Adviser to the Prime Minister of Ukraine) \nCatherine Barnard (Professor of European & Employment Law\, Trinity College\, University of Cambridge) \n  \nModerators:  \nDenis Galligan (OXGS Director\, Emeritus professor at Oxford University) \nKatarina Sipulova (OXGS Fellow\, Head of the Judicial Studies Institute\, Masaryk University) \n  \nRegistration link: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ELgeH_s-QASX5MP7EbrpkA \nPlease sign up to our newsletter to receive future event announcements from Oxford Global Society (OXGS). \n  \nEvent description: \nAt the very beginning of the war in Ukraine\, President Zelenskyy asked the EU to allow it an expedite accession. The request was met with lukewarm reaction from EU institutions\, although the integration in Western structures was a leitmotif of Ukraine’s internal reforms and conflicts with pro-Russian politicians for the last two decades. Some scholars argue that Ukraine is much more prepared to join the EU than many Western politicians think and that the EU might actually benefit from her membership. \nIn the view of the decision the European Commission should take soon on the Ukrainian application\, the roundtable seeks to address the challenges of Ukraine’s accession to the EU. \n\nIs Ukraine ready to accede? \nWhat would the integration mean for the ongoing conflict and the EU security policy? \nWhat political\, economic and legal challenges the integration posits for the EU? \nHow could the integration help both Ukraine and the EU to reshape the raison d’être of the whole organisation after Brexit and several years of on-going rule of law crisis?

DESCRIPTION:The colloquium\, organised by Oxford Global Society\, will focus on Richard Caplan’s recent book: Measuring Peace: Principles\, Practices\, and Politics (Oxford University Press\, 2019; ppbk 2021) and then touch on other issues around peace. Richard’s book opens with the question: How can we know if the peace that has been established following a civil war is a stable peace? The answer: more rigorous assessments of the robustness of peace are needed. Richard goes on to show how that can be done. The debate will touch on other matters relating to peace\, including how to get to peace and the process after peace. \nRead the excerpt from Richard Caplan’s book here. \n \nRichard Caplan: Professor of International Relations at the University of Oxford.

SUMMARY:The New Cold War? Online book colloquium: Comity by Frank Vibert
DESCRIPTION:In this online event\, Frank Vibert\, OXGS Fellow\, will present his new book: Comity: Multilateralism in the New Cold War. The book depicts a new Cold War between democracies and authoritarian countries. The fundamentally different values they embed in the way they approach government and policymaking means that the task of making fully international rules of behaviour has become almost impossible. The meagre results from COP26 and the indefinite postponement of the 2021 WTO Ministerial meeting illustrate this problem. As the main way out of deadlock\, the book explores the role of like-minded democratic countries in taking the lead in making international rules. Will it lead to further conflict? Is it a legitimate approach? \nParticipants:\nFrank Vibert  \nAuthor. OXGS Fellow and an associate of the Centre for the Analysis of Risk and Regulation (CARR) at the London School of Economics where he was a Senior Visiting Fellow between 2008-2020. \nRichard Caplan\nCommentator. Richard Caplan is Professor of International Relations at the University of Oxford. His research is concerned principally with international organizations and conflict management. He is the author\, most recently\, of Measuring Peace: Principles\, Practices and Politics (Oxford University Press). \nPaul Craig\nCommentator. Paul Craig is Emeritus Professor of English Law\, St John’s College\, Oxford University. He has written extensively on constitutional law\, administrative law\, EU law and comparative administrative law. \nDenis Galligan\nModerator. OXGS Director. Emeritus Professor of Socio-Legal Studies\, Oxford University.     \nEvent registration:\nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAkdu6trDspHddJG-Nb3Zh1xjIzo-vdtIs8

SUMMARY:Putney Debates 2021: The Unity of a Nation
DESCRIPTION:Description\n  To unite a group of regions to create a nation is a daunting task under any circumstances. It becomes more difficult when regional identity has a long history\, often associated with independence and ethnicity\, language and religion. The United Kingdom is an old union of four proud\, distinct\, and very different parts and peoples. After Brexit\, the unity of the UK is under strain and its future is precarious; loyalty and support for the constitutional structure is on the wane. The purposes of Putney Debates 2021 include: (1) to construct models of unity from the experience of a selection of nations; (2) to analyse the case of United Kingdom\, identify the points of tension and instability; and (3) to draw on the models of unity to propose an approach suited to the United Kingdom. A course of lectures on the constitutional structure and its success and/or problems of five countries including the US\, China\, Spain\, Italy and the UK will be pre-recorded and uploaded to our website. On 8 December 2021\, two panels will convene\, the first to discuss the model of unity\, and the second to focus on the unity of the UK.   \nSpeakers\n  \nDenis Galligan   Emeritus Professor at Oxford University Richard Clary   Lecturer at Harvard Law School (US) Qianfan Zhang   Professor at Peking University (China) Francesco Bilancia   Professor at Pescara University (Italy) Roberto Galan Vioque   Professor at Seville University (Spain) Sionaidh Douglas-Scott    Professor at Queens Mary College London Michael Gordon   Professor at Liverpool University Christopher McCrudden   Professor at Queens University Belfast Nicola McEwen   Professor at Edinburgh University Sarah Nason   Senior Lecturer at Bangor University Alison Young   Professor at Cambridge University
