Great Decisions: Between China, the West, and the Global South | China, the West, and the Global South are reshaping the global stage—but how does it affect your future? During this GD Coffee Hour we will explore the shifting dynamics of power, trade, and technology between these regions and why their relationships matter to you. From the impact on jobs and innovation to human rights and climate action, we'll dive into the global ripple effects of these evolving alliances

The Great Decisions program provides background information and policy options for the eight most critical issues facing America each year and serves as the focal text for discussion groups across the country. The Great Decisions program was created by the Foreign Policy Association. The mission of the Foreign Policy Association today, as it has been for over 100 years, is to serve as a catalyst for developing awareness, understanding, and informed opinion on U.S. foreign policy and global issues. Through its balanced, nonpartisan programs and publications, the FPA encourages citizens to participate in the foreign policy process.

This program is brought to the community through a partnership with the Edina Senior Center, the Edina Library and Edina Community Ed.

The Friends of the Edina Library and Global Minnesota have graciously co-sponsored this program.
