Great Decisions Discussion Program

Do you like to keep up on current events?
Do you want to meet new people?
Would you like to stretch your mind, point of view and expertise?
Then Great Decisions is just the program for you!

Created by the Foreign Policy Association of America (FPA) in 1954, Great Decisions Discussion Program is America’s largest grassroots discussion program that focuses on world affairs. The program model involves reading the Great Decisions Briefing Book and meeting in a group setting to discuss the most critical global issues facing America today. Discussing the topics with other members plays vital role in your learning and understanding of these issues and everyone benefits from hearing different points of view.

The topics for the Great Decisions 2022 briefing book have been announced! The nine topics featured in this year’s issue are:

Topic 1: “Changing Demographics” (Bonus Article) by Joseph Chamie
Topic 2: “Outer Space” by Eric Berger
Topic 3: “Climate Change" by Ron Bee
Topic 4: “Russia and the U.S." by Allen Lynch
Topic 5: “Myanmar and ASEAN by Hunter Marston
Topic 6: “Quad Alliance” by Kevin Rudd
Topic 7: “Drug Policy in Latin America” by Mónica Serrano
Topic 8: “Industrial Policy” by Jonathan Chanis
Topic 9: "Biden's Agenda" by John Ikenberry
