Ian Bremmer: The world is without global leadership - it's a G-Zero world

Öppen Föreläsning

There is now no single power or durable alliance of powers both willing and able to accept the costs, risks and burdens that comes with global leadership. America is struggling to pay its bills, Europe is busy trying to save the eurozone, and emerging powers are wrestling with too many complex challenges at home to accept risks and burdens abroad. This is the view of Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group and an expert on international politics and its impact on global markets.

A world without global leadership makes it vulnerable to crises that appear suddenly and from unexpected direction. Over the next decade and perhaps longer we will have a world without leaders which will undermine our ability to keep the peace in Asia and the Middle East, to grow the global economy, to reverse the impact of climate change, to feed growing populations, and to protect the most basic of all necessities - air, food, and water. Its effects will be felt in every region of the world, even in cyberspace.

This is the view of Ian Bremmer, an expert on international politics and its impact on global markets. In his lecture he will detail the following:

- The impact of a world without leadership on international politics and the global economy
- Next challenges facing the United States, Europe and China
- Asia's evolving balance of power
- The future of the Middle East
- Winners and losers in a world without leaders
- Crisis points- from food security to cyberspace
- The global balance of power most likely to emerge from a G-Zero world (i.e. a world order in which no single country or durable alliance of countries can meet the challenges of global leadership.)
