Ian Bremmer is President of Eurasia Group, a political risk consultancy.
Bremmer's research focuses on US foreign policy, states in transition, and global political risk. His five books include Nations and Politics in the Soviet Successor States (Cambridge University Press, 1993), which became the standard college text on the post-Soviet states, and, most recently, The J Curve: A New Way to Understand Why Nations Rise and Fall (Simon & Schuster, 2006). In 2001, Bremmer authored Wall Street's first global political risk index, now the DESIX (Deutsche Bank Eurasia Group Stability Index)--a joint venture with investment bank Deutsche Bank.
Bremmer has also published over 200 articles and essays in The Harvard Business Review, Survival, The New Republic, Fortune, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, and The New York Times. He is a columnist for The International Herald Tribune and the webzine Slate, contributing editor at The National Interest, and a political commentator on CNN, FoxNews, and CNBC.
Bremmer has spent much of his time advising world leaders on US foreign policy, including US presidential candidates from both Democratic and Republican parties, Russian Prime Minister Sergei Kiriyenko, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Bremmer received his PhD in political science from Stanford University in 1994. He went on to the faculty of the Hoover Institution where, at 25, he became the Institution's youngest ever National Fellow. He has held research and faculty positions at Columbia University (where he presently teaches), the EastWest Institute, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the World Policy Institute, where he has served as Senior Fellow since 1997. He lives in New York.
