Within three decades following the end of the Cold War, the United States found itself in a period of great-power conflict and accelerating technological change. In this class we will explore and discuss these dramatic changes using briefing materials and videos provided by The Foreign Policy Association and augmented by leading publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Economist and Foreign Affairs magazines. Discussion topics will include U.S.-China Relations, NATO’s Future, Mideast Realignment, Climate Technology and more. Each class will typically consist of video and lecture presentations followed by roundtable discussions. Our objective will be to better understand why historic changes are occurring now and how they are connected to each other and ourselves.
