Author of quotes: Jan Bremmer

Ian Bremmer, speaking about geopolitics, assures that already now on the planet "there is no global leadership." After World War II, there was a rather long period of globalization, "clearly under the leadership of the United States": the world was governed from the American point of view, by American priorities, capital and institutions. Bremmer calls the "Big Seven", the World Bank, the IMF and the UN Security Council.
But now the world is, according to Bremmer, in a "period of creative destruction." Moreover, in the future there will be no "global institutions led by the United States." The concept of the G20, Bremmer believes, is important, but it has not made "significant progress in terms of concluding global agreements on trade, financial and monetary regulation or on any other issues that the world needs answers to." We, the analyst concludes, are in "G-Zero".
