Session 5 of Great Decisions 2025 India - Between China, the West, and the Global South (Ms Graczyk)
Presenter: Ms. Dagmar Graczyk, International Energy Agency
Zoom only: Can be viewed in WRL Theater or at home
The Topic: "India is an emerging major power in world affairs, occupying a pivotal position between China, the United States, and the Global South. Its population size, economy, and geopolitical location ensure that it will be an influential voice in debates and political struggles over global order. What are India’s choices and opportunities for regional and global leadership? How will it maneuver between China and the United States, and what is its role as a voice of the Global South? What opportunities exist for Washington to work with India?"
Session 6 of Great Decisions 2025: The Evolution of U.S. Leadership in the Global Economy (Ms Goto)
Presenter: Ms. Shihoko Goto, Director of the Indo-Pacific Program at the Wilson Center
Live: in WRL Theater; simulcast on Zoom
The Topic: "Under President Biden, the U.S. has advanced new ideas about trade, technology, industrial policy, competition with China, and the organization of the world economy. For most of the postwar era, the U.S. has tied its global leadership to cooperative agendas aimed at creating a more open-world trading system, but that has apparently come to an end. What are America’s options and opportunities as a leader of the world economy? How will America’s “foreign policy for the middle class” and strategic competition with China impact its leadership role? How can the postwar rules and institutions of the world economy be made safe for economic nationalism and great power competition?"
Session 7 of Great Decisions 2025: Int. Climate Cooperation in an Era of Geopolitical Turmoil
Presenter: Prof. A. Kirkpatrick
Live: in WRL Theater; simulcast on Zoom
The Topic: "The 2015 Paris Agreement established a UN-sponsored framework for negotiations on climate change and global warming. In subsequent COP meetings, experts and political leaders have come together seeking common cause for this growing global crisis. What is the future of these efforts, and what have they yielded? What is the U.S. role in fostering cooperation on climate change? In a divided country, what are the possible futures for American policy leadership?"
Session 8 of Great Decisions 2025: American Policy in the Middle East (Former Ambassador Jeffrey)

How might Arab states in the wider region be brought into a settlement? What are America’s interests in the Middle East and how can it advance them?"
