What is *Every Nation for Itself: Winners and Losers in a G-Zero World* about?

Ian Bremmer’s *Every Nation for Itself* analyzes the rise of a "G-Zero" world—a global power vacuum where no single nation or alliance sets the international agenda. It explores how this leadership void impacts economics, conflict, climate policy, and resource security, while identifying which countries and regions will thrive or struggle in this decentralized era. The book also outlines potential future scenarios, including a fragmented "world of regions".

Who should read *Every Nation for Itself*?

This book is essential for policymakers, business leaders, and readers interested in geopolitics and global trends. It appeals to those analyzing power shifts post-American hegemony, including implications for trade, security, and international cooperation. Academics studying realist international relations theory will find Bremmer’s US-centric perspective on global stewardship particularly engaging.

What is the "G-Zero" concept in Bremmer’s book?

The "G-Zero" describes a world without dominant global leadership, marked by declining US influence and no clear successor to stabilize international systems. Bremmer argues this vacuum leads to geopolitical instability, protectionist policies, and unaddressed challenges like climate change. The concept has become a benchmark for analyzing modern multilateral failures.

How does Bremmer define "winners" and "losers" in a G-Zero world?

"Winners" are nations adaptable to decentralized power, like resource-rich states (e.g., Canada) and technocratic economies (e.g., Germany). "Losers" rely on outdated alliances or lack strategic autonomy, such as countries dependent on US security guarantees or authoritarian regimes facing internal dissent. Emerging markets face heightened risks without global coordination.

What future scenarios does Bremmer predict for a G-Zero world?

Bremmer outlines four scenarios: a US-China condominium, competitive multipolarity, regional blocs, and a chaotic "G-Subzero" breakdown. He deems a fragmented "world of regions" most likely, with competing alliances in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. A dystopian "G-Subzero" scenario warns of power devolving to gangs or militants in unstable states.

What is Bremmer’s critique of US foreign policy in the book?

Bremmer urges the US to reinvest in globalization, fiscal responsibility, and institutions like the Trans-Pacific Partnership to regain influence. He argues passivity risks ceding ground to China and eroding the post-WWII liberal order. However, critics note his analysis romanticizes America’s historical benevolence.

How does *Every Nation for Itself* relate to Bremmer’s other works?

This book expands on Bremmer’s expertise in geopolitical risk, complementing *Us vs. Them* (populism) and *The Power of Crisis* (global threats). It introduces his widely cited "G-Zero" framework, later referenced in his analyses of AI, climate crises, and US-China rivalry.

What are key criticisms of the book?

Critics highlight Bremmer’s US-centric view of global governance and overly optimistic faith in international institutions. Some argue he underestimates non-state actors’ roles in shaping global trends. However, the core "G-Zero" thesis remains influential in policy circles.

It's like a bus without a driver-everyone has an opinion about the destination, but nobody wants to take responsibility for getting there.

重要なポイント

A World Without Global Leadership

00:00

Imagine twenty nations sitting at a poker table, each guarding their chips, watching others, waiting to play their hand. This isn't global order-it's every nation for itself. For the first time in seven decades, we live in what Ian Bremmer calls a "G-Zero world"-a dangerous power vacuum where no country or group of countries can drive an international agenda. This isn't simply about American decline or China's rise-it's a fundamental shift where established powers lack the muscle to impose solutions while emerging powers reject collective action requiring sacrifice. The 2009 Copenhagen climate summit perfectly illustrates this reality. As world leaders gathered for negotiations, China's premier remained at his hotel, distancing himself from proceedings. The summit collapsed not because any single country sabotaged it, but because no country had sufficient leverage to impose a solution. It's like a bus without a driver-everyone has an opinion about the destination, but nobody wants responsibility for getting there. The European Union struggles with internal cohesion, Japan faces demographic decline, and emerging powers prioritize domestic development over global leadership.
