  • The State in Europe

    This is the longest existing programme of OxPo. It was launched at the French Political Science Association (AFSP) Congress in 2007. Coordinated by Patrick Le Galès and Desmond King, it focuses on the transformation of the state in Europe. Over the years, this programme has led to several conferences and workshops, co-taught classes in both institutions, as well as a number of co-authored and co-edited publications. 

  • Beyond the BRICs metaphor. Making Sense of Non-Western Power

    This long standing programme, coordinated by Andrew Hurrell & Karoline Postel-Vinay, focused on the BRICs metaphor. Over the years, it has organised a couple of joint graduate seminars and conferences, and is also the basis for on-going collaboration between partners at the CERI and the DPIR.
