Edina Great Decisions: U.S. Engagement with Africa

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

Nearly half of the world’s population will reside in Africa by the end of the century. In addition, the continent’s wide variety of natural resources has placed Africa at the center of intense competition between the U.S. and China. What could the U.S. strategy toward this critical region look like?

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.
