SUMMARY:Great Decisions Lecture Series: Latin America’s Falling Economies
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Great Decisions lecture series\, GCIV welcomes Emory University Associate Professor Tom Rogers to discuss the political climate of Latin America. \nThe pendulum of Latin American politics is swinging rightward once again. Yet as the “pink tide” recedes\, the forces of change have more to do with socioeconomics than ideology. Dramatic economic and political crises have coincided in countries like Brazil and Venezuela. Still\, the final result for Latin America may be the emergence of centrist\, pragmatic modes of governance\, and with them\, opportunities for the U.S. to improve relations. The new administration must look beyond the neoliberal model of the 1990s\, and develop an approach to relations fit for the 21st century. \nEvents in this series cost $40 and includes a briefing book. A $10 companion book can be bought. \nPlease view additional information here. \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:2016 Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series - Cuba and the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Cuba and the U.S. \nSpeaker: Dr. Jennie Lincoln \nThe U.S. announced in December 2014 that\, after decades of isolation\, it has begun taking major steps to normalize relations with Cuba. The announcement marks a dramatic shift away from a policy that has its roots in one of the darkest moments of the Cold War — the Cuban missile crisis. Although the U.S. trade embargo is unlikely to end any time soon\, American and Cuban leaders today are trying to bring a relationship\, once defined by antithetical ideologies\, into the 21st century. \n  \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:2016 Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series - The Rise of ISIS
DESCRIPTION:The Rise of ISIS\n \nSpeaker: Ms. Houda Abadi\n \nBorn out of an umbrella organization of Al-Qaeda in Iraq\, the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) burst onto the international stage after it seized Fallujah in December 2013. Since then\, the group has seized control of a number of critical strongholds in the country and declared itself a caliphate\, known as the Islamic State. Still\, the question remains: What is ISIS\, and what danger does it pose to U.S. interests?o have quite a lot on his or her plate going into office. \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:2016 Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series - The United Nations
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations \nSpeaker: Dr. Rashid Naim \nOn the eve of the international organization’s 70th birthday\, the United Nations stands at a crossroads. This year marks a halfway point in the organization’s global effort to eradicate poverty\, hunger and discrimination\, as well as ensure justice and dignity for all peoples. But as the UN’s 193 member states look back at the success of the millennium development goals\, they also must assess their needs for its sustainable development goals — a new series of benchmarks\, which are set to expire in 2030. With the appointment of the ninth secretary-general in the near future as well\, the next UN leader is bound to have quite a lot on his or her plate going into office. \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:2016 Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series - Migration
DESCRIPTION:Migration \nSpeaker: Dr. Jeanne Grussendorf \nAs a record number of migrants cross the Mediterranean Sea to find refuge in Europe\, the continent is struggling to come up with an adequate response. Although Europe’s refugees are largely fleeing conflicts in Syria\, Iraq and parts of Africa\, their struggle is hardly unique. Today\, with the number of displaced people at an all-time high\, a number of world powers find themselves facing a difficult question: how can they balance border security with humanitarian concerns? More importantly\, what can they do to resolve these crises so as to limit the number of displaced persons? \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:2016 Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series - The Future of Kurdistan
DESCRIPTION:The Future of Kurdistan \nSpeaker: Mr. Benjamin Kweskin \nKurdistan\, a mountainous area made up of parts of Turkey\, Iraq\, Iran\, and Syria\, is home to one of the largest ethnic groups in region: the Kurds. Now\, most in the West know them for their small\, oil-rich autonomous region in northern Iraq called Iraqi Kurdistan — one of the U.S.’ closer allies in the Middle East and a bulwark against the expansion of the so-called Islamic State. What does the success of Iraqi Kurdistan mean for Kurds in the surrounding region? \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:2016 Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series - The Koreas
DESCRIPTION:The Koreas \nSpeaker: Dr. Han Park \nAt the end of World War II\, Korea was divided in two. The northern half of the Korean peninsula was occupied by the Soviet Union\, the southern by the United States. Today\, North and South Korea couldn’t be further apart. The North is underdeveloped\, impoverished and ruled by a corrupt\, authoritarian government\, while the South advanced rapidly to become one of the most developed countries in the world. With such a wide gap\, some are asking if unification is possible\, even desirable\, anymore? \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:2016 Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series - Middle East Alliances
DESCRIPTION:Middle East Alliances \nSpeaker: Mr. Christopher McNaboe \nFrom a proxy war in Yemen to an ongoing civil war in Syria\, a number of ongoing conflicts have shaken the traditional alliances in the Middle East to their core. As alliances between state and non-state actors in the region are constantly shifting\, the U.S. has found itself between a rock and a hard place. In a series of conflicts that are far from being black-and-white\, what can the U.S. do to secure its interests in the region without causing further damage and disruption? \n\n\n	From the archive:
