Each year the Foreign Policy Association selects eight topics that are currently having significant impact on US foreign policy and our relationships with nations around the world. The FPA produces a briefing booklet with curated readings and a relevant video around each of the topics for the year’s “Great Decisions” study. Groups (and classes) around the country use these materials to enrich their understandings of these significant topics that require more than sound bites or 90 second segments in the media. ALL has been hosting Great Decisions courses for many years and many members have had very positive experiences with the group discussions and readings. Come join in the conversations!!!!

1. American Foreign Policy at a Crossroads

2. US Changing Leadership of the World Economy
