Starting today, an annual discussion program produced by the Foreign Policy Association and presented by the University of North Georgia will kick off an eight-week series to explore the international economy and world politics. The Great Decisions lecture series is in its fourth year and will run each Monday and Thursday through March 7 at the university’s Cumming and Gainesville campuses. Those who attend will have the opportunity to explore topics ranging from Middle East realignment to energy geopolitics, all led by the university’s faculty members.
