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.
Remembering David Londoner

He was in the investment business his entire professional life, most of which was spent at Wertheim & Co, where he built and managed one of the leading Media/Entertainment industry research groups, and continued with Schroder & Co. Inc. A Chartered Financial Analyst, he was a driving force behind tightening accounting rules for motion picture and television production companies. An Institutional Investor Magazine All-Star Analyst for 26 consecutive years, he was known for calling major turning points in the broadcasting and motion picture industries.
