Great Decisions: Red Sea Security (airs on WSCS TV)

The Red Sea has remained vital for global trade since the time of ancient Egypt.  Once home to the spice trade, the Red Sea now sees millions of barrels of oil a day transported across its waters.  With major nations like China, France, Italy and the U.S. building large ports and bases in the region, what does the future of the region look like?  How important is Red Sea security for global security?  Can the region be a place of global cooperation?

Speaker Dr. Daniel C. Stoll, Associate Dean for Global Affairs at St. Norbert College, provides oversight and direction for all of the activities within the Center for Global Engagement, including study abroad programs, international student recruitment, and the English as a Second Language Institute.
