Great Decisions 2008 - Discussion Groups

Great Decisions

Great Decisions 2007 was a great success...
Join us for Great Decisions 2008!

Great Decisions discussion groups are facilitated small-group sessions designed to promote informal give-and-take among participants in exploring all sides of an issue.

Topics and dates in the 2008 edition include:

  • February 27: National Security
  • March 26: European Union at 50
  • April 23: Russia
  • May 21: Private Philanthropy
  • June 18: Latin America
  • September 17: China
  • October 22: Talking with our Enemies
  • November 19: Iraq End-Game
 As a guide to discussion, we use the Foreign Policy Association's (FPA) annual Great Decisions book, which highlights eight global and regional policy issues with background and arguments from various sides to stimulate discussion, debate, and a better understanding of the challenges facing policy makers.

NOTE: The venue will change for some programs.
