Great Decisions, Date/Time TBA — Worried about the state of the world? The prospect of nuclear weapons and materials falling into the wrong hands? Want to know more about the war in Afghanistan, now the longest in U.S. history? Peacham Library will host Great Decisions in Foreign Policy, a discussion program focusing on the most critical global issues facing America today. Topics for 2017 range from threats to our nuclear security to pressures on the European Union to the fraying status quo in Saudi Arabia. Each topic is presented in a half-hour documentary, and then thrown open for a moderated hour-long discussion. Great decisions is a creation of the nonprofit nonpartisan Foreign Policy Association, founded in 1918 and dedicated to developing awareness, understanding, and informed opinion on global issues, and encouraging citizens to participate in the foreign policy process.
