Countries suddenly unable to meet the demand for certain supplies are faced with growing calls for economic nationalism. What are some of the lasting effects that the pandemic could have on global supply chains and trade?

DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence and Data \nLecture by Daniel Schiff\, Georgia Institute of Technology \nPolicymakers in many countries are developing plans and funding research in artificial intelligence (AI). Global growth is slowing\, and not surprisingly\, many policymakers hope that AI will provide a magic solution. The EU\, Brazil\, and other Western countries have adopted regulations that grant users greater control over their data and require that firms using AI be transparent about how they use it. Will the U.S. follow suit? \nGCIV serves as the statewide coordinator for the Foreign Policy Association’s (FPA) Great Decisions program that gives participants the opportunity to expand their understanding of current world affairs. \n \n\n\n	From the archive:

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Eleanor Morris\, Ph.D.\, Agnes Scott College \nMass migration\, and the problems associated with it\, have directly abetted the rise of populist parties in Europe. Opposition to immigration was the prime driver of support for Brexit\, it brought a far-right party to the German Bundestag for the first time since the 1950s\, and propelled Marine Le Pen to win a third of the vote in the French presidential election. In addition to calling for stronger borders\, however\, these parties are invariably illiberal\, anti-American\, anti-NATO and pro-Kremlin\, making their rise a matter of serious concern for the national security interests of the United States. \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series: Cyber Conflict and Geopolitics
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Seymour Goodman\, Ph.D.\, Georgia Tech \nCyber conflict is a new and continually developing threat\, which can include foreign interference in elections\, industrial sabotage and attacks on infrastructure. Russia has been accused of interfering in the 2016 presidential elections in the United States and China is highly committed to using cyberspace as a tool of national policy. Dealing with cyber conflict will require new ways of looking at 21st century warfare. Is the United States prepared to respond to such threats? \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series: Decoding U.S.-China Trade
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrew Wedeman\, Ph.D.\, Georgia State University \nThough arguably the most advanced economy in the world\, the United States still uses centuries-old numbers to measure trade. These antique numbers mangle understanding of the U.S.-China trade relationship\, shrinking America’s true economic size and competitiveness\, while swelling China’s. Bad numbers give rise to bad policies that ultimately kill U.S. jobs and cede market share to China. What other tools can the United States employ to counter China’s unfair trade practices? There are several available\, yet they remain mostly unused. \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:Great Decisions 2018 -- Media and Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:State and non-state actors today must maneuver a complex and rapidly evolving media landscape. Conventional journalism now competes with user-generated content. Official channels of communication can be circumvented through social media. Foreign policy is tweeted from the White House and “fake news” has entered the zeitgeist. Cyberwarfare\, hacking and misinformation pose complex security threats. How are actors using media to pursue and defend their interests in the international arena? What are the implications for U.S. policy? \n\nSpeaker: Michael Jablonski\, Georgia State University                   \n\n\n	From the archive:
