Ian Bremmer

Nacido: November 12, 1969 – Chelsea, Massachusetts, United States

Ian Bremmer is a political scientist and geopolitical analyst focused on global political risk, international affairs, and the intersection of politics and markets. He founded Eurasia Group and GZERO Media, wrote books including The J Curve, Us vs. Them, and The Power of Crisis, and helped mainstream political-risk analysis for business and public audiences.

Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor

Trained as a political scientist rather than a journalist, Ian Bremmer built his public voice on academic rigor and practical relevance. He studied international relations at Tulane University and earned both a master’s degree and a doctorate in political science at Stanford University, where he later became the youngest-ever national fellow at the Hoover Institution. From that foundation, he moved beyond academia to found Eurasia Group and helped turn political risk into a discipline that business leaders, investors, and policymakers could use in real time. The through line in his work has been clear from the start: politics is not a secondary variable to economics but often the force that shapes markets, institutions, and international outcomes most decisively.
