Book description
In What's Next, Ian Bremmer, author of Every Nation for
Itself and The End of the Free Market, and Douglas
Rediker provide a guide to the major global issues and policies sure
to dominate headlines in the next few years.
In the last four years, the world has suffered a financial market
meltdown and subsequent global recession. The eurozone crisis looms,
the Middle East is in turmoil, and a shifting power balance between
emerging markets and developed economies is reordering the global
economy as a whole. Facing these new challenges, what will the future hold?
Ian Bremmer and Douglas Rediker, together with experts, analysts,
analyze these global issues and provide a template to
understand how they will change our world in the next few years.
Focusing in on the most volatile, powerful, or misunderstood
developments, the authors examine the risks to the IMF, Russia's
future, the roles of emerging markets, and the future of US foreign
policy. They assess the political roots of the eurozone crisis, the
key questions surrounding Afghanistan, important trends and tensions
underway in Asia Pacific, and the rise of regionalism in the wake of
fracturing international governance.

Market. He is a contributor for the Financial Times A-List
