The question animating this closing discussion comes from the title of Martin Luther King Jr.’s final book, Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?

Can peoples and nations find ways to forge a more cooperative global community? Or will the world descend into further chaos? Can we recommend policies, drawing on the most compelling narratives and perspectives presented in the first two panels, to advance King’s dream of greater equality and a just community for all? Can we optimize security, development, and human rights policies that promote the dignity and flourishing of all persons and every community?
