The Rise of China on the World Stage

The surge of China on to the world stage has been called the single most important geopolitical event in this century. Will the nation of nearly 1.3 billion be a force for good or ill in world affairs writ large? What are the challenges of integrating China into a stable and secure world? The Great Decisions Television Series is a thirteen show series broadcast each year on PBS stations nationwide. Each show brings together experts on a specific topic in order to examine all sides of a foreign policy issue. The 2005 Television Series features the eight topics from the Great Decisions briefing book, as well as five election specials. This year's series is hosted by Peter Krogh, Dean Emeritus at the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University
