Great Decisions is the United States’ largest discussion program on world affairs. OLLI at the University of Arkansas has participated in the program for the last 14 years, affording adult learners the opportunity to explore major foreign policy issues and options facing our nation.
This semester’s Great Decisions topics include: American Foreign Policy at a Crossroads; U.S. Changing Leadership of the World Economy; U.S.-China Relations; India: Between China, the West, and the Global South; International Cooperation on Climate Change; The Future of NATO and European Security; AI and American National Security; American Foreign Policy in the Middle East: Taking Stock and Looking Ahead. Facilitators will lead each week’s discussion where all participants are encouraged to offer their thoughts and opinions on these important subjects.
Members will receive a briefing book, published by the Foreign Policy Association, that provides background information, context, current data and policy options for all the topics to be discussed.
