Arctic War or Arctic Peace?

Series
Politics and International Relations Podcasts

Are international relations in the Arctic really that different from those in other regions – and if so, why?
Michael Byers holds the Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at the University of British Columbia. Prior to 2005, he was a Professor of Law at Duke University. He is the author, most recently, of International Law and the Arctic (Cambridge University Press, 2013).

Vladimir Putin has said: "If you stand alone you cannot survive in the Arctic. Nature makes people and states to help each other." But are international relations in the Arctic really that different from those in other regions – such as Eastern Europe – and if so, why?

Power and Order, Peace and War: lessons for Asia from 1914-1918

Series
Politics and International Relations Podcasts
Embed
How might a new regional order in Asia look, and how could it be built?
War was not inevitable in Europe in 1914, and it is not inevitable in Asia today. But war happened in Europe because the Europeans failed to conceive a new international order to reflect radical shifts in the distribution of wealth and power. And war will become more likely in Asia if regional powers fail in the same way to imagine a new regional order which fits the fast-changing realities of power there. How might such a new order look, and how could it be built?

Hugh White is a Professor of Strategic Studies at the Australian National University. Previously he held senior official positions in the Australian Government. His recent publications include "Power Shift: Australia’s future between Washington and Beijing," (2010) and "The China Choice: Why America should share power" (2012).

Baroness Susan Greenfield CBE highlights how the unprecedented use of digital technologies is leaving a mark on our brains.
Baroness Susan Greenfield CBE highlights how the unprecedented use of digital technologies is leaving a mark on our brains. She outlines her concerns about the internet, social networking and video games ahead of her lecture, called 'The brain of the future', on Friday 18 September 2015 during the Alumni Weekend in Oxford.

As well as the discussion of her recent book Mind Change, Baroness Greenfield explains how her high-profile scientific career began in an unusual way. Her early interest in philosophy and classics was transformed into a fascination for understanding the brain thanks to her supportive Oxford tutor Dr Jane Mellanby.

In this podcast interview, Baroness Greenfield also emphasises the strength of Oxford's tutorial system, her love of College life, and the importance of interdisciplinary research.

Climate change: what science and the IPCC report has to say

Series
Oxford Martin School: Public Lectures and Seminars
Embed
Nick Eyre and Myles Allen give a talk for the Oxford Martin School on climate change and the IPCC report.
One of the key objectives of the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), completed in 2014, was to provide a comprehensive description of the science of climate change and options for adaptation and mitigation for negotiators preparing for the Paris Conference in 2015.
IPCC authors Myles Allen and Nick Eyre will explain the IPCC process, and ask whether this model of a technical panel giving “policy relevant, not policy prescriptive” advice to governments is still working. They will highlight some key findings, such as the increased level of confidence that human influence is the dominant cause of the warming observed since the mid-20th-century, the importance of cumulative carbon dioxide emissions, the challenges of emission reductions, but also the multiple mitigation pathways still open for achieving the goal of limiting warming to 2oC.
They will also discuss some of the things the IPCC does not do, such as specifically attributing blame for observed climate change impacts, and ask what the options are for the IPCC going forward.
