SUMMARY:GREAT DECISIONS : Decoding U.S.-China Trade
DESCRIPTION:Decoding U.S.-China Trade  \nBy Jeremy Haft \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.  \nThis program will be held in the Chapel at St. John’s UU Church\, 320 Resor Ave.\, Clifton\, from 12:45 – 2:15 p.m. Brown bag lunches are welcome to be eaten while we watch the DVD together before the discussion. \nIf you did not purchase a briefing book in the fall and would like to do the same background reading as many others in the group\, you can order one from the Foreign Policy Association\, www.fpa.org.

SUMMARY:GREAT DECISIONS : The Rise of Populism in Europe
DESCRIPTION:The Rise of Populism in Europe  \nBy James Kirchick \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. \nThis program will be held in the Chapel at St. John’s UU Church\, 320 Resor Ave.\, Clifton\, from 12:45 – 2:15 p.m. Brown bag lunches are welcome to be eaten while we watch the DVD together before the discussion. \nIf you did not purchase a briefing book in the fall and would like to do the same background reading as many others in the group\, you can order one from the Foreign Policy Association\, www.fpa.org. If not\, try to do some research on the topic before coming.  No registration is necessary.

SUMMARY:GREAT DECISIONS : Nuclear Negotiations: Back to the Future?
DESCRIPTION:Nuclear Negotiations: Back to the Future? \nby Ronald J. Bee \nNuclear weapons have not gone away\, and the Trump administration has brought a new urgency\, if not a new approach\, to dealing with them.  The President has met with Vladimir Putin as the New Start Treaty with Russia comes up for renewal in 2021\, the first presidential summit ever with Kim Jong-un occurred to discuss denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula\, and President Trump has decertified the Obama nuclear deal with Iran.  To what degree should past nuclear talks guide future U.S. nuclear arms control negotiations?  Can the art of the deal apply to stabilizing our nuclear future? \nThis program will be held in the Chapel at St. John’s UU Church\, 320 Resor Ave.\, Clifton\, from 12:45 – 2:15 p.m. Brown bag lunches are welcome to be eaten while we watch the DVD together before the discussion. \n If you did not purchase a briefing book in the fall and would like to do the same background reading as many others in the group\, you can order one from the Foreign Policy Association\, www.fpa.org.

SUMMARY:GREAT DECISIONS: The Middle East: Regional Disorder
DESCRIPTION:The Middle East: Regional Disorder\nBy Lawrence G. Potter \nAs the presidency of Donald J. Trump passes the halfway point\, the Middle East remains a region in turmoil.

SUMMARY:GREAT DECISIONS : Refugees and Global Migration
