During this eight-week course we will explore some of the great issues of the day, and develop our individual positions on U.S. foreign policy direction and actions. Each week, participants will focus their broad range and depth of life knowledge and experience on one of eight current foreign policy topics furnished by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA). This is a very active discussion course. Each week, all participants will read the brief background material provided by the FPA, and one or two volunteers from the group will prepare a more in-depth, 5- to 10-minute introduction to the issue. This is then followed by a vigorous but controlled discussion of the background and options leading to positions on U.S. policy actions. Guest specialists may also participate.

This year’s topics include:

  • Climate Change and the Global Order

  • India and Pakistan

  • Red Sea Security

  • Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking

  • U.S. Relations with the Northern Triangle

  • China’s Road into Latin America

  • The Philippines and the U.S.

  • Artificial Intelligence and Data

  • Great Decisions 2020 - Foreign Policy Association (purchase from the OSHER@Dartmouth office)
