Great Decisions 2026 | Ruptured Alliances and the Risk of Nuclear Proliferation

Описание: Great Decisions, a project of the Foreign Policy Association, is a grassroots world affairs education program which brings together Americans from across the nation to discover and discuss foreign policy issues. Over the course of eight weeks, scholars will introduce each issue, and participants may explore their own views and those of the group.

Join us this evening at 6 PM for our second session of the 20th Season of Great Decisions at Manitowoc Public Library. This week's topic—"Ruptured Alliances and the Risk of Nuclear Proliferation," presented by Martin Farrell, PhD, Ripon College (retired). 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?

PLEASE NOTE: Great Decisions 2026 will be presented in a hybrid format (except for the final week, which will be presented online only) —offered in-person in MPL’s Balkansky Community Room, as well as livestreamed simultaneously online on both our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/manitowoclibrary) and YouTube channel.
