In 2023, the Oxford Global Society organized a series of online events, such as "Putney debates 2023: Democracy in crisis?", "Why in this time of war we need diplomacy more than ever", "Is the Dollar hegemony collapsing?", "Good Friday Agreements at 25: The troubled past and the uncertain future". Our also edited a book, published several research reports and high-quality commentaries on international issues of significant importance. These include: (an upcoming book) "Representative democracy in crisis?", co-edited by Professor Denis Galligan (Oxford), Mr Richard Clary (Harvard), and Professor Zim Nwokora (Deakin University), and commentaries such as "Out of Step: The West's Waltz with Africa" (by Alan Doss, the former Under Secretary General of the UN) and "Is US dollar hegemony ending?" (by Professor Robert Wades of the LSE). Through our events and publications, we informed the global public about selected important issues that are relevant to today's world, such as the dollar hegemony, the so-called "crisis of democracy" and the reasons behind African countries' stance on dividing issues like the Russia-Ukraine war. We also provided an important platform for diverse views on some controversial issues. For example, our online seminar on the dollar hegemony involved speakers from the West, China, and Latin America. Our Putney Debates series also included speakers from the US, Western and Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia (Indian).
In the year of 2023, our stakeholders include the members of our company, and the global public (audience) of our events and research outputs. We held regular meetings with our advisory board members and editorial board members, asking for their advice and suggestions for our research topics; we also wrote to our other members (such as fellows and research assistants) to keep them informed about our activities and plans and seek their feedback and suggestions. As for the global audience of our events and publications, we gained their feedback mainly via social media platforms, such as YouTube and Twitter. In response to the feedback from our own members and the global audience, we tried to make our events and research more relevant and valuable to them, providing a platform for diverse views and perspectives (for issues of international significance such as the Russia-Ukraine war).
