Ian Bremmer breaks down the macro factors driving the pervasive sense of uncertainty felt across the world. Despite the changing nature of our times, Bremmer will share opportunities for optimism that leaders can leverage to deliver a better future for our businesses, communities, and societies.
Key Takeaways:
- The Current State of Globalization: Ian Bremmer says that the global order is falling apart, with increasing uncertainty and conflict. However, globalization is not over and will continue, though the United States no longer leads it.
- Technological Advancements: Advancements in areas like AI and clean energy drive new power dynamics, with the U.S. and China competing for leadership in these domains. This creates an uneasy alliance as other countries need access to these technologies.
- The Global Power Structure: Our global structure is becoming more multipolar, with economic power distributed across different countries and regions, while military power remains primarily dominated by the U.S.
- Adapting to Global Change: Countries are adapting by building new institutions or reforming existing ones to better align with the changing world order and are also taking steps to prepare for potential conflicts.
- The Future Global Order: Ian believes the future global order will be less dominated by nation-states, with corporations and the private sector playing a more significant role in shaping digital and technological governance.
