10 Year Anniversary Weekend Photos and Footage

Published on November 3, 2022

The School was buzzing when, in late September, we welcomed many of you and your families back for a celebratory weekend of reconnecting with classmates and deepening friendships and networks across our community. Now we are pleased to be able to share the photos and footage from the weekend, so that those of you who came have a memento and those who were unable to come can share in some of the experience of the weekend.

You can find all of the photos here on the hub and they are available to download here. Please note that these photos are for personal use only. If you would like to share please seek approval from others in the image or footage. In the event that you share these images publicly, could we please ask you to credit John Cairns for the events on Friday and Saturday, and similarly credit David Fisher for Sunday’s photographs.

Videos of the event, including the welcome, flagship panel and intellectual exchange sessions, can be accessed here.*

The intellectual exchange sessions show the high quality, vibrant debate that ranged across a breadth of areas and drew on the deep expertise of our alumni and faculty. Do join our industry sector groups to continue the debate, build your connections and develop ideas that further our shared mission. You can find more details and join here:

And if you can make it to Oxford on Thursday 17 November, we have our annual drinks and networking evening for alumni and the newest members of our community, the MPP Class of 2022. Join us (click here) for networking over drinks and supper.

*Please note the big tech session was held under Chatham House rules so we are unable to share the footage.

Ngaire Woods: In defense of non-alignment

November 11, 2022

As the US and China divide the world into allies and enemies, many smaller countries are resisting pressure to take sides. It is wiser to navigate rising economic nationalism without unconditionally adopting the foreign-policy preferences of superpowers. Critics of geopolitical non-alignment have long characterised it as a flawed and doomed policy, and in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,
