Ian Bremmer

Ian Bremmer is the founder and president of Eurasia Group, a global political risk research and consulting firm, and creator of Wall Street’s first-ever global political risk index. He appears frequently in the media as a political risk expert. Based on his risk analysis, Bremmer has written three books that explore the geopolitical implications of state capitalism: The J Curve: A New Way to Understand Why Nations Rise and Fall (2006) ; The Fat Tail: The Power of Political Knowledge for Strategic Investing (2009); and the most recent, The End of the Free Market: Who Wins the War Between States and Corporations? (2010). Bremmer regularly contributes articles to the Wall Street Journal, writes “The Call,” a blog on ForeignPolicy.com, and is a panelist for CNN International’s Connect the World. Bremmer has a PhD in political science from Stanford University and teaches at Columbia University. His company, Eurasia Group, provides financial, corporate and government clients with information and insight on how political developments move markets. Bremmer’s own analysis focuses on global macro political trends and emerging markets, which he defines as “those countries where politics matter at least as much as economics for market outcomes.” He provides strategies that help minimize both long- and short-term risk by taking into account both the political and economic factors that affect the global business environment.
