About this Event

Co-moderators for the series will be Bob Beck, a retired U.S. foreign policy official who writes a column for the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript and the Brattleboro Reformer, and Peter Henriques, whose Peace Corps experience in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) led to a career in international business. Both reside in Peterborough.
Topics, background materials, and videos for the series have been prepared by the national nonprofit, nonpartisan Foreign PolicyAssociation. Besides the economy, other topics will include U.S.-China relations, the rise of India, international cooperation on climate change, the future of NATO, artificial intelligence and national security, the Middle East, and American foreign policy at a crossroads.

Programs will begin at 7 p.m. at the Mariposa, 26 Main St., on the first Thursday, February through May, and will resume September through December after a summer break. Each session will begin with a short video about the topic, followed by a presentation by one of the moderators and a group discussion.

The Foreign Policy Association was founded in 1928 to develop awareness and understanding of U.S. foreign policy and informed opinion on global issues. A magazine with in-depth articles on each topic can be ordered from https://www.fpa.org.
