Edina Great Decisions: Between China, the West, and the Global South

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

China, the West, and the Global South are reshaping the world stage—but how does it affect your future? Explore the shifting dynamics of power, trade, and technology among these regions and why their relationships matter to the United States. From the impact on jobs and innovation to human rights and climate action, dive into the global ripple effects of evolving alliances.

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. A limited number of discounted books are available for purchase by Global Minnesota members and groups ordering ten or more books.
