Illuminating the Arts-Policy Nexus 
Illuminating the Arts-Policy Nexus is a fortnightly series of articles on the role of art in public policymaking. This series invites WPI fellows and project leaders as well as external practitioners to contribute pieces on how artists have led policy change and how policymakers can use creative strategies.
In Every Nation for Itself: Winners and Losers in a G-Zero World, World Policy Institute Senior Fellow Ian Bremmer illustrates a historic shift in the international system and the world economy—and an unprecedented moment of global uncertainty.

Five decades, five themes.
On May 3, 2012, World Policy Institute presented a unique opportunity for guests to converse around five global issues that require innovative approaches across borders:
Water
Migration
Media and Conflict
Reducing World Financial Risk
New Security Priorities
At each table, hosts including World Policy Fellows and eminent friends engaged guests in dinner conversation around these five themes. Their insights will inform our work as we embark on our next 50 years. Click here for a list of discussion leaders by theme.
