SUMMARY:Edina Great Decisions: U.S.-China Relations
DESCRIPTION:This free event is being held in-person and is open to everyone.  \nWashington’s relations with Beijing have been strained in recent years as both American political parties identify China as the country’s preeminent geopolitical challenger.

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. \nRichard Leitch\, presenter \nDr. Richard Leitch earned a B.A. in East Asian Studies from Colby College in 1985\, and an M.A. in Asian Studies from the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign. He then received his Ph.D. in Political Science from Illinois in 1995 and now teaches International Relations\, Comparative Politics\, Asian Politics\, Environmental Politics\, and the Politics of Poverty at Gustavus Adolphus College.

SUMMARY:Great Decisions: Venezuela and the Trump Corollary
DESCRIPTION:This free event is being held in-person and is open to everyone. \nThe latest U.S. National Security Strategy includes the “Trump Corollary” that frames a renewed assertion of U.S. influence in the Western Hemisphere as central to American interests.

Join the discussion on this timely topic with local expert Rob Scarlett on March 11. \nThis program is presented by the Woman’s Club of Minneapolis through a partnership with Global Minnesota. \nThe Great Decisions program addresses some of the most critical foreign policy issues facing the United States each year.

Shortly after graduating from Carleton College in 1966\, he became part of a private NGO team that created some of Latin America’s first microfinance institutions.
