Description: Great Decisions is America’s largest discussion program on world affairs. The program model involves reading the Great Decisions Briefing Book, watching the documentary film series, and meeting in a Discussion Group to discuss the most critical global issues facing America today. The program provides background information and policy options for the eight most critical issues facing America each year and serves as the focal text for discussion groups.
Additional Notes: Topic Selections for Great Decisions 2026
America and the World: Trump 2.0 Foreign Policy
Trump’s return has marked a break from 80 years of U.S. foreign policy leadership, embracing an “America First” approach. This chapter explores the risks of isolation and diminished influence in relation to Trump 2.0 foreign policy. By G. John Ikenberry
Trump Tariffs and the Future of the World Economy
Trump’s aggressive trade and tariff policies have shaken global economic norms. What’s the rationale behind this radical shift in economic policy, and what are the implications for multilateral trade and geopolitics? By Michael Mastanduno
U.S.-China Relations
Relations with China remain tense, with tariffs, military modernization, and pressure on Taiwan. Does Trump have a coherent China policy, and will his tariffs on Rare Earth minerals be effective? What are America’s strategic options? By Oriana Mastro
Ruptured Alliances and the Risk of Nuclear Proliferation
U.S. alliance skepticism may drive countries like Japan and South Korea to reconsider nuclear options. What are the implications of the Trump administration’s rethinking of the U.S. alliance system for regional and global security? Will this new uncertainty alter the way allies and rivals in various regions make decisions about security and nuclear weapons?
By Gideon Rose
Ukraine and the Future of European Security
With reduced U.S. support for NATO and Ukraine, Europe faces strategic uncertainty. The Trump administration has signaled an intention to reduce its security role in Europe. What are America’s stakes in NATO and Europe’s strategic dilemmas, and how might Europe respond? By Thomas Wright
Multilateral Institutions in a Changing World Order
Can multilateralism survive amid shifting global power and rising nationalism? This chapter examines the future of global cooperation across trade, health, and finance.
By Scott Bessent (SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
U.S. Engagement of Africa
Africa’s geopolitical role is growing. What lessons can the U.S. learn from China’s presence there, and how might it strengthen ties, especially with leading nations like Nigeria? What tools of statecraft might the U.S. bring to its engagement with Africa? By Jendayi E. Frazer
The Future of Human Rights and International Law
As democracy and human rights retreat globally—and the U.S. pulls back—how can civil society and legal norms remain effective in a divided world? What is the role and force of international law in this era of impunity? By Jose Enrique Alvarez
Note: Chapter titles, summaries, and author attributions are preliminary and subject to change prior to publication.

If you have Acrylic Flow Art painting experience and are able to mix paints and complete flow paintings independently, this special interest group is for you. Practice your techniques, obtain guidance from facilitators, and enjoy some fellowship with other OLLI acrylic flow painters. No formal instruction provided.
Learn more here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JGqxaALbaoqQlW8cgnbgcqwoKGf_edlD?usp=sharing
Come with your own canvas and paint materials or just bring any size canvas and for a small materials fee and use the paints and additives provided by the facilitator. (The fee will be paid directly in cash at the time of the SIG and will vary from artist to artist based on the amount of colors, quality of paints selected and the overall size of your canvas. See below for more information.)
During the session, painting tools and materials (pallet knives, tweezers, torches, spinners, chains, gloves, paper towels, mixing cups, etc) will be available for use. In addition, a ‘sealing’ station with Minwax Polycrylic Sealer will be available to seal fully dried paintings from your previous OLLI Flow Art classes. Due to the size of Room CE-309, each date of this SIG will be limited to twelve (12) registrants.
Materials Fee: If you are electing to purchase mixed acrylic paint and additives for your canvas instead of bringing your own, the cost will be based upon the size of your canvas in square inches and technique(s) you plan to apply. (Approximately $1 - $1.50 per ounce)
For example: A 16” x 20” canvas (320 square inches of surface canvas) with ½” depth edges (18 square inches of edge canvas) will have a total surface to be painted of 336 square inches. The 336 square inches will require approximately 13 ounces of paint (335/25) resulting in a paint cost of between $13 and $20.50.
If you have Acrylic Flow Art painting experience and are able to mix paints and complete flow paintings independently, this special interest group is for you. Practice your techniques and enjoy some fellowship with other OLLI acrylic flow painters. This program meets 1 time(s).
