Edina Great Decisions: Ruptured Alliances and Nuclear Proliferation

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

U.S. alliance skepticism may drive some countries to reconsider their nuclear options. Will uncertainty over U.S. military commitments alter the way allies and rivals make decisions about security and nuclear weapons?

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.
