Great Decisions Discussion Group
The participants each purchase a workbook, Great Decisions Briefing Book, put out by the Foreign Policy Association annually. The workbook contains background material on 8 subjects relating to foreign affairs. At each monthly meeting we will all come prepared to discuss the topic selected for that meeting...preparation involves simply reading the appropriate section of the workbook. The workbook includes additional suggestions for reading (for anyone who has the time and interest to go further!) as well as discussion questions. It leads to a lively and stimulating conversation...great way to learn! Participants can order their copy of the booklet at the website: www.greatdecisions.org.
The Great Decisions topics for 2008 are:
Iraq: strategies for dealing with uncertainty
European integration: looking ahead
Blacklisting the enemy
Russia and "Putinism"
U.S. defense policy
Latin America: the next U.S. President's agenda
U.S. – China economic relations: evolving rivalry
Foreign aid: new players, new goals?
