Ian Bremmer Biography

Ian Bremmer is a political scientist who helps business leaders, policymakers, and the general public make sense of the world around them. Bremmer is president and founder of Eurasia Group, the leading geopolitical risk advisory firm, and GZERO Media, a digital media company providing intelligent and engaging news coverage of international affairs. He is an independent voice on critical issues around the globe, offering clear-headed insights through speeches, written commentary, and even satirical puppets (really!).

A prolific writer, Bremmer is the author of eleven books, including The New York Times bestsellers “Us vs. Them: The Failure of Globalism,” which examines the rise of populism across the world, and his latest book, “The Power of Crisis: How Three Threats—and Our Response—Will Change the World,” which covers a trio of looming global crises (health emergencies, climate change, and technological revolution) and their potential to create global prosperity and opportunity.

Bremmer is the foreign affairs columnist and editor at large for TIME magazine, and is the host of "GZERO World with Ian Bremmer," a global affairs program that airs weekly on U.S. public television. Uniquely positioned to bring unbiased analysis on complex geopolitical issues, Bremmer is a frequent guest on leading broadcast television, digital news, and podcasts— from CNN and MSNBC to FOX and Newsmax— as well as key international media. Bremmer also served as rapporteur of the UN High-Level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence.

Bremmer holds a master's degree and a doctorate in political science from Stanford University and a bachelor's degree in international relations from Tulane University. He currently teaches at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs and previously was a professor at New York University. He is also a Senior Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.

Ian Bremmer Speaking Topics

  • Navigating the Geopolitical Recession

    For the past 15 years, the post-Cold War global order has been breaking down, leaving us to respond to a series of crises with both political, market, and business implications. Ian Bremmer explains that geopolitics has entered a bust cycle. The world’s most powerful country— the United States — has become the most politically dysfunctional rich-world country. The world's most important bilateral relationship — US-China —is deteriorating more quickly than leaders can build new guardrails. Today's global institutions no longer reflect the world's true balance of power. The result: a growing vacuum of leadership and cross-border coordination. This geopolitical recession will continue to limit our ability to respond to crises like the pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, climate change, and the emergence of disruptive new technologies. 

    Ian will share ideas and insights to help policymakers and business decision makers navigate a world in accelerating transition.

  • Managing Risk in an Unstable World

    To navigate globalization, every business decision-maker weighs economic variables when considering overseas investments or market exposure. But to spot crucial opportunities and manage risk, they must also understand the political factors and trends changing our world in real-time. Whether it's increasingly contentious relations between China and the United States, the war in Ukraine, a more complex regulatory environment in Europe, a newly global focus from India, surges of populism in Latin America, heightened competition in Africa, or dozens of other politically driven trends, political analyst and entrepreneur Ian Bremmer will detail how political risk is creating new sets of business winners and losers.

    At this presentation audiences will learn:

    • How to spot political risk on the horizon and balance it against economic opportunities
    • How to understand the opportunities, and dangers, of multilayered relations between Washington and Beijing
    • How to identify the broader trends remaking tomorrow's global balance of power
    • How to process the technological changes now transforming geopolitics
