Gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics impacting world economics, conflicts, and alliances.


Join us as Bob DeGour continues this popular discussion group where we take a deep dive into current events that are affecting our world. This discussion group follows a format similar to Great Decisions.

Geopolitics is the framework that helps us understand the intricate interfusion of the world’s economic, military, political, and geographic landscape. With Bob’s guidance, we will tackle contemporary foreign policy challenges, world conflicts, and economic opportunities. We’ll avoid biased media-driven narratives or online chatter — addressing insights based on geopolitical trends presented by reputable and objective sources including RANE/Worldview, Geopolitical Futures, video chronicles, etc.

Several days before each weekly session, timely and applicable analyses are distributed to participants to guide our discussions.

What to expect:
Expect great discussions that provide a deeper understanding of the dynamics impacting the world’s economics, conflicts, and alliances. Note the new time and location!
