22 - Part VII C: The Iraq War and World Political Order

After taking one year off to teach “Forums for a Future” as a university honors course, I am now ready to continue the series. The continuation will apply the concepts developed in the first 16 episodes to an open-end list of contemporary social issues. As a way to get started, I have created a three-part “Review and Transition” (Podcasts 17-19) to provide a brief summary and introduction for those new to the series, and a quick review for the original subscribers. Today’s episode, Podcast # 22, is the third in the open-ended series of positive approaches for addressing the many specific contemporary economic, social and political issues that challenge our capacity for having a future in the 21st Century. In today's podcast, the key concept is that the Iraq War provides a focal point for understanding the political implications of globalization.
