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 2010 are:
Special Envoys
Preventing genocide
Global crime
US-China security relations
Global financial crisis
Russia and its neighbors
The Persian Gulf
Peacekeeping
