These course dates are rescheduled due to earlier cancellation due to weather.

This course is based on the book titled "A World in Disarray: American Foreign Policy and the Crisis of the Old Order", by Richard Haass. Due to a range of global challenges, the author describes the end of the Old Order - the rules, policies, and institutions that have guided the world since WWII.
Haass argues for an updated global order and also details how the U.S. should act towards China and Russia, as well as Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
Participants will read portions of the book in advance, and bring related materials if available, for discussion during class. The instructor Karen Bantel has facilitated courses for OLLI on Russia, Autocracy, Western Liberalism, and TED talks. She was a professor and consultant of business strategy and entrepreneurship for many years. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and will meet select Wednesdays, 2:00-4:00 p.m., February 27 and March 13, 20 and 27.
