Edina Great Decisions: Organized Crime in the Americas

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

Organized crime has created significant transnational problems throughout the Americas including money laundering, drug smuggling, and cybercrime. How might countries in the Western Hemisphere increase their cooperation in addressing these complex issues?

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.
