February 4: Myanmar and ASEAN
The situation in Myanmar, including the coup by the military in February 2021 and the ongoing human rights crises, coupled with civil resistance by those opposed to the regime, have led to chaos in the Southeast Asian country. How are neighboring countries reacting, and what role will ASEAN play?
Speaker: Daniel P. Sullivan, Senior Advocate for Human Rights, Refugees International

Great Decisions returns January 14—all virtual—and runs for eight consecutive weeks on Fridays at noon.
This year's series is a partnership with the Global Leadership and Management specialization in the Masters of Public Administration program at Portland State University.
One of WorldOregon's favorite events of the year is the annual Great Decisions series —the oldest, largest grassroots, people-powered, foreign policy series in the country, which had its start here in Portland in 1953. The series features eight hard-hitting topics selected by the Foreign Policy Association and across the region people organize discussion groups and attend our 8-week conversation series.
As in previous years, this year's series features some very critical issues that are "ripped from the headlines," as they say, topics that are front-and-center for how the U.S. is and will continue to be engaging on the world stage.
Also note: due to the pandemic and programs being all-online, we will not be selling Great Decisions books but they may be purchased from the Foreign Policy Association here.
- Series tickets for members: $30
- Individual Events: $5 members; $10 general
