May 28 — John Clark on “Great Decisions indeed: Why Indianapolis needs its own foreign policy”
Consider the eight topics of the Great Decisions series: unending war in Iraq, the EU, grudging diplomatic discussions with our enemies, policy for an overstretched military, Latin America’s Leftists, undemocratic Russia and Putinism, trade with China, private philanthropy and foreign aid. All apparently disconnected from one another, all far away … but they all intimately touch Central Indiana, and we have a chance to contribute to solutions.
When: Wednesday May 28, 11:00 AM
Where: North United Methodist Church 3808 N Meridian St Indianapolis, IN 46208
John Clark of Provocate connects the eight different topics addressed by the speakers of the Mid-North Shepherd Center’s Great Decisions series (as well as the series offered earlier in the spring by the Indiana Council on World Affairs and the Church of the Saviour) by discussing how each issue touches Indianapolis, and how groups in Indianapolis are working to solve problems around the world. He proposes that in the “glocalized” world of the 21st century, the “foreign policy” of cities like Indianapolis may matter on some issues as much as the foreign policy of the government in DC.
