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.
World Policy on Air: Ian Bremmer
Ian Bremmer, the founding president of Eurasia Group, believes neither the world nor the United States is headed for a double-dip recession, but that the big unknowns are the black swans - the failure of the nonproliferation regime and financial regulation - which an increasingly brittle global economy is ill-prepared to withstand.
Author of The End of the Free Market: Who Wins the War Between States and Corporations, and fellow of the World Policy Institute, Bremmer is a guest of World Policy Journal editor David A. Andelman on the weekly World Policy on Air podcast. Bremmer also explores the exponential growth of BRIC nations and emerging markets in contrast to the sluggish progress of the developed world; how much more secure are the economies of democracies in Brazil and India than the centralized regimes of Russia and China, whose brittle political systems cannot accommodate long-term consumer-based growth.
Bremmer will also appear at "It's a Funny World," a special evening of international stand-up comedy benefiting World Policy Journal Monday, September 13 at COMIX, 343 West 14th Street (just east of Ninth Avenue).
