Davos Note: Bremmer/Clemons "Davos Issues Opener" & PDF of Report issued Today by World Economic Forum Council on Geopolitical Risk

Dear Friends & Colleagues:

Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer and I have written an “opener” for the special Davos/World Economic Forum site that The Atlantic has put together.  We are both members of the World Economic Forum on Geopolitical Risk, chaired by our friend and colleague Douglas Rediker who has just completed his term as US Alternative Executive Director at the IMF.

Ian’s and my piece is titled “DAVOS 2012:  The Rise of Regions in a G-Zero World.”  Here is the link:

Key themes, some not surprising is that the global governance institutions we have today are anachronistic, creaky, need revision.  Ten years of distraction over major financial scandals and wars are coming to an end — and while power has been reshuffled around the world to new, rising stakeholders — all the action is really regional.  Hope you find our out-loud thinking interesting.

I also wanted to share the “Report” issued today by our WEF Council on Geopolitical Risk in Davos — the pdf of our report which outlines geostrategic challenges and trends as our cluster of diverse international policy hands is available here:
