Edina Great Decisions: Multilateral Institutions in a Changing World Order

This free event is being held in-person and is open to everyone. 

Great power competition and shifting global alliances have strained traditional multilateral institutions. What is the future of global cooperation on areas such as international trade, health, and finance?

This program is presented by Edina Community Ed through a partnership with the Edina Senior Center, the Edina Library, the Edina Community Center, and Global Minnesota.

The Great Decisions program addresses some of the most timely foreign policy issues facing the United States each year. Global Minnesota facilitates discussion groups across the state, providing access to a roster of local foreign policy experts and offering Great Decisions books produced by the Foreign Policy Association.
