    Sponsored by the Foreign Policy Association, Great Decisions is America’s largest discussion program on world affairs.  The program model involves reading the Great Decisions briefing book and meeting in a discussion group to talk about the most critical global issues facing America today.  The Great Decisions briefing book serves as the focal text for discussion groups by providing background information, expert analysis, and suggested discussion questions for each foreign policy issue.

    In 2019, the issues to be discussed include: Refugees and Global Migration, The Middle East: Regional Disorder, Nuclear negotiations: Back to the Future?, The Rise of Populism in Europe, Decoding U.S.-China Trade, Cyber Conflicts and Geopolitics, The United States and Mexico: Partnership Tested, and State of the State Department and Diplomacy.

    Prior to each session, discussion group participants read the briefing book article, typically 8-10 pages, and conduct any additional research they wish to do on the topic.  One member of the group makes a presentation on the issue during the first hour of the meeting. The second hour is dedicated to a round-table discussion.

    War…What is it good for? Obviously, it is good for those who profit from destruction and the taking of human life. And what is the common denominator, the impetus for war throughout the centuries? It’s about the acquisition of land, by force, deceit or any other means possible. During the holidays I went to a party where this retired couple were recounting a land dispute they were having with their neighbor. It seems their neighbor was claiming an extra six feet on their property line and the animosity had grown so strong that they were now in court trying to settle whose six feet of land it was. Prior to the dispute they had been friendly but now they had become arch enemies, all for a tiny piece of land. Read more→
