CE-COLGM 2026 - Great Decisions Discussion Group

The Great Decisions program of the Foreign Policy Association (FPA), the USA’s largest world affairs discussion program, promotes fact-based discussions and critical thinking. Using the FPA 2023 Briefing Book and associated DVD, each Hyflex class will begin with a 25-to-30-minute viewing of an FPA master class lecture on the selected topic, followed by a facilitator-led discussion. This class will have four sessions. They will be drawn from the following topics: 1) Political Trends in Latin America: the “pink tide” and the three lefts 2) Famine: a renewed threat in the 21st Century?: what are the causes and what are policy options? 3) Iran at a cross roads: The most serious and wide spread demonstrations since the revolution. 4) Climate change, environment degradation, and migration: How climate change and associated environment degradation contribute to migration and possible policy responses. Members can purchase the 2023 Great Decisions Briefing Book (highly recommended) and companion DVD (if you like) by ordering online at www.fpa.org or calling 1 800-477-5836. Please allow time for the book to be shipped to you. Supplemental readings may be emailed to the class to enhance the discussion.
