WHAT'S NEXT?
Essays on Geopolitics That Matter
From the world’s leading experts on geopolitical risk comes a guide to the major global issues and policies sure to dominate headlines in the next few years.
In the last four years, the world has suffered a financial market meltdown andsubsequent global recession. The eurozone crisis looms, the Middle East is in turmoil, and a shifting power balance between emerging markets and developed economies is reordering the global economy as a whole. Political and economic challenges intertwine now more than ever before, as the demands of local politics and global business grow increasingly complex andbegin to conflict in new ways. Facing these new challenges, what will the future hold? In WHAT’S NEXT? Ian Bremmer and Douglas Rediker, together with experts, analysts, andmany of their colleagues from the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on Geopolitical Risk, analyze these global issues and provide a template to understand how they will change our world in the next few years. Focusing in on the most volatile, powerful, or misunderstood developments, the authors examine the risks to the International Monetary Fund, Russia’s future, the roles of emerging markets, and the future of US foreignpolicy. They assess the political roots of the eurozone crisis, the key questions surrounding Afghanistan, important trends and tensions underway in the Asia-Pacific region, and the rise of regionalism in the wake of fracturing international governance. Most importantly, they provide a reminder that our world is constantly changing and offer guidance on how to understand some of the keydynamics in the evolving global game.
