In 2025 UK corporation tax celebrates its 60th birthday. Despite many predictions that revenues would be eroded, corporation tax is forecast to raise record amounts in coming years.

The Labour government, like the governments that went before, want to make the UK the best place to invest and do business. They have made economic growth the number one mission. Does the new Corporate Tax Roadmap, with its emphasis on stability and certainty, provide the blueprint for a dynamic business environment? What can be learnt from the many past policy changes about how to make corporation tax fit for the future? How should the UK engage with international efforts to change the taxation of multinational companies? What are the challenges for small businesses? How can HMRC reduce uncertainty and rebuild trust with taxpayer? How should the broader set of taxes that impact businesses – including business rates – be reformed over this parliament? 

These are among the issues that will be discussed at the 2025 IFS residential conference, which is hosted in association with Deloitte.

The IFS Residential Conference is held biennially and brings together tax practitioners, academics, policymakers and people from business and the third sector to discuss an area of the tax system from a variety of angles. Since the first event in 1983 the conference has been used to debate the likely and desirable direction of tax policy and administration. We provide a space where tax professionals step away from their day jobs and help tackle important tax design questions.
Key Information
The conference will take place at St Anne's College, Oxford, from lunchtime on Thursday 3 April to late afternoon on Friday 4 April. A conference dinner and accommodation will be provided on Thursday night.

Full price ticket: £600 + VAT
Academic & charity rate: £375 + VAT

This course offers a dynamic introduction to Globalization and the Global Political Economy (GPE), exploring the intricate relationship between political actors and the global economic marketplace. Through a theoretically rich and historically grounded lens, you’ll examine the development, operations, and future trajectory of the global political economy.

You’ll learn to apply diverse theoretical frameworks to critically analyze global economic processes. 

The course begins with an in-depth look at foundational GPE perspectives—mercantilism, liberalism, and structuralism—each built on distinct assumptions that shape our understanding of global economic events. 

From there, we’ll investigate the international "structures" of production, trade, finance, and knowledge, addressing critical questions: Who controls these structures, and to what end? What rules govern international trade? How do institutions like the IMF, World Bank, and multinational corporations shape global flows of goods and investment? Who benefits from controlling knowledge?

The course culminates with an exploration of 21st-century global governance, highlighting the rise of new economic and political power centers and their evolving roles in the world.
The course concludes with an exploration of 21st-century global governance, spotlighting the emergence of new economic and political power centers, such as BRICS, and their evolving roles in the world.

We’ll also examine how the United States under Donald Trump shifted from traditional liberal internationalism toward more transactional and bilateral approaches, reshaping global relationships and challenging established norms

Learning Outcomes

Analyze the major political themes in the historical evolution of the international economy.

Security lies at the heart of international relations, driving critical debates in an increasingly volatile world.  This course provides a dynamic introduction to contemporary security studies, blending key concepts, theories, and real-world challenges. 

Participants will explore the evolution of security—from traditional state-centric models to expansive frameworks like human security—while analyzing the shifting global order.
The Western-led multilateral system, once a beacon of post-Cold War collaboration, is under strain. 

With Trump’s victory marking the decline of the U.S.-led postwar order, this course investigates how these tectonic shifts redefine international security. 

Delivered in two parts, it combines rigorous theory with practical insight:

Part One: Master foundational theories—realism (anarchy, power, war), liberalism (order, institutions), and constructivism (human dimensions)—alongside critical lenses like post-Marxist and post-structuralist perspectives.

Part Two: Apply these frameworks to today’s pressing issues through case studies, revealing the multifaceted nature of global security.

Africa’s development landscape is undergoing a radical shift as global South powers redefine longstanding patterns of influence. At the forefront stands China, a transformative force whose trade and investment in Africa have soared more than tenfold in the past decade. Propelled by its "Going Global" strategy, China’s pursuit of Africa’s rich resources—minerals, oil, and more—has fueled this ascent. 

Yet its role reaches far beyond economics, with growing involvement in peacekeeping, infrastructure, and security—driven by political, economic, and security imperatives—signaling a bold new chapter in Africa’s geopolitical narrative.

Built on decades of historical ties and a shared developing-world identity, this partnership is accelerating at breakneck speed, raising urgent questions: How is China’s rise reshaping African economies, governance, and societies? What strategies are African leaders, businesses, and global players adopting in response?

This course offers a dynamic, multidisciplinary framework to address these and other questions, blending historical context, economic trends, and political analysis to illuminate China’s expanding footprint in Africa.

Since the end of the Cold War, ideological rivalries have largely given way to nationalism and ethnic conflict as the primary drivers of strife within and between nations. From ethnic and religious violence to clan-based struggles, cultural divisions have destabilized countries and regions, often spilling across borders to threaten global security. Scholars warn that these conflicts—frequently framed as ethnic, nationalist, or religious—challenge not only regional stability but also the very concept of world order.

Even in so-called "unified" First World nation-states, cultural tensions have surged, evident in the rise of secessionist movements and anti-immigrant political parties. Minority groups worldwide are increasingly vocal, demanding recognition and rights, while those in power often respond with repression or violence. The result is a growing wave of nationalist conflicts—ranging from mass expulsions to state-sponsored genocide—that has tested traditional notions of state sovereignty and sparked international humanitarian interventions.

Despite widespread acknowledgment of this nationalist resurgence, experts remain divided on its origins, meaning, and solutions. Debates intensified with Samuel Huntington’s provocative “Clash of Civilizations” thesis, which gained urgency after September 11 and the War on Terror. 

Critics argue that the real struggle lies not between civilizations but within competing visions of modernity—one rooted in individualism and democracy, the other in communal identity and self-determination—or what some call a “Clash of Fundamentalism” fueled by religious movements.

This course explores these dynamics, examining the roots of identity-based conflict and the pathways to peace in deeply divided societies. It equips learners with the theoretical tools and practical insights to understand and address one of the defining challenges of our time.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Through this course, you will:
Gain a comprehensive understanding of nationalism’s emergence, persistence, and its potential to fuel ethnic and religious polarization, violence, and civil war.
Explore the causes, consequences, and responses to identity-based conflicts at national, regional, and global levels.
Develop an integrated perspective on conflict resolution and peace building, blending theory, and real-world practice.
Analyze the social, economic, and political conditions of plural societies grappling with division and strife.

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Knowledge and Understanding
Apply major theoretical frameworks in nationalism studies to analyze the role of identity in ethno-political conflicts.
Identify conditions that give rise to identity-based conflicts and assess their implications.
Understand the international community’s responses to civil wars and genocide—including preventive diplomacy, mediation, humanitarian intervention, and reconciliation—while grappling with issues of political, moral, and legal responsibility.
Skills
Critically evaluate diverse approaches to studying ethno-political conflicts and designing conflict resolution strategies.
Explain the causes and consequences of identity-based conflicts across multiple global regions.

Competences
Think critically about nationalism and its role in shaping geopolitical and local conflicts.
Propose informed policy solutions to prevent or mitigate identity-based conflicts.
Build a strong theoretical foundation in conflict resolution applicable to real-world challenges.
