Ian Bremmer is Calling Out Political Risks, and What it Means for the Future
By James Martinez
Perhaps the most challenging thing for today’s business and government leaders is connecting the dots to make sense of the rapidly changing world around them as they make decisions impacting the people they serve.
For many, the path for clarity takes them to renowned political scientist and best-selling author Ian Bremmer. His knack for factoring in political risk to financial markets has morphed into its own platform via GZERO Media, a digital media company providing intelligent and engaging news coverage of international affairs.
Bremmer also serves as the President and Founder of Eurasia Group, the world’s leading global research and advisory firm. It has warned of chaotic times for more than a decade and is an important resource for companies and people navigating a world that is evolving at a dizzying pace.
Dangers in a G-Zero World
The post-Cold War geopolitical structure is wavering due to a global leadership deficit that Bremmer has coined a “G-Zero world.” It refers to “an era when no one power or group of powers is both willing and able to drive a global agenda and maintain international order.
According to Bremmer, that leadership deficit appears to be growing to critically dangerous proportions as outlined in the “Top Risks 2025” report published by Bremmer and the Chairman of Eurasia Group, Cliff Kupchan. The annual forecast warns of the political risks that are most likely to play out over the course of the year.
