As Oxford’s most international college and home to seven regional area studies centres, St Antony’s College is well-placed for a cross-centre discussion on the issue of vaccine diplomacy as an instrument for geopolitical influence in a world dominated by the impact of the pandemic. The panellists gave their own area studies perspectives on how they see global vaccine diplomacy affecting relations between states and regions around the world. The Warden, Professor Roger Goodman, introduced the event.
