The Economist's Best Books of 2006 How to turn authoritarian regimes into stable, open democracies. Ian Bremmer, whose Eurasia Group advises on political risk, sums up the challenge in a simple graphic that is this year’s tipping point. The Economist In one simple graphic arguably the world's most pressing geopolitical challenge. New York Magazine In “The J Curve,” Ian Bremmer (Tom Friedman with a Gladwellian streak) argues that nations follow a predictable path to democracy, one we should consider before invading them. Forbes An insightful new book that delivers a...highly accessible read...Bremmer's policy prescriptions make sense. The Guardian The book presents its argument with compact intelligence and detailed case studies. Publisher’s Weekly Bremmer persuasively illustrates his core thesis without eliding the complexities of global or national politics. Daily Telegraph A brilliantly simple tool for analysing the rise and fall of nation states is taking America by storm...Move over, ‘tipping point’. The "J curve" is an explanation for the way the world works that is so simple that you can draw it on the back of a paper napkin. Philadelphia Inquirer Anyone interested in foreign affairs will find this book of interest, not just those within the Beltway who actually formulate policy. Accessibly written, clear and concise, it's an excellent guide to what will be a number of the world's hot spots in the years to come and to what the United States' response might or should be in each case. The New York Sun Mr. Bremmer, who writes cleanly, samples from current and past states to illustrate his opinion of the world, the flesh, and the devil. The Vancouver Sun Understanding risk is one of those skills few business people or investors are very good at, so it tends to get farmed out to experts. One such is Ian Bremmer of the Eurasia Group and he has just published a fascinating book. The Carnegie Council The J Curve will doubtless influence mainstream debates for years to come. Austin American-Statesman Thought-provoking...compared with the overheated claims and ambitions of recent policy, Bremmer offers a welcome return to strategies that...offer a more sustainable path for the future. The Boston Globe An important book, one that most US political and business leaders should revisit frequently. The National Interest If the “critical realism” in Peña’s work raises some very significant questions without quite providing the satisfactory answers, the “analytical realism” in Ian Bremmer’s “The J Curve: A New Way to Understand Why Nations Rise and Fall” offers some tools for constructing a realistic international geopolitical grand strategy...Bremmer comes.. from the world of business, where he heads the Eurasia Group, a global political risk advisory and consulting firm based in New York. Hence it is not surprising that “The J Curve” combines both realist concerns for national interests with the contemporary business world’s demand for effective modeling. Kirkus Reviews A shrewd and timely take on a continual dilemma of international relations. Booklist In Bremmer's hands... “The J Curve” is a powerful heuristic that is capable of clarifying the persistent dilemma of how to nudge nations toward openness...a quick, fascinating read. CNBC European Business This is an intelligent and thoughtful book that should be read by the people that matter. Real Clear Politics Ian Bremmer is one of the best geo-political strategists in the world today. IR Wonks If this book becomes widely read...I believe it has the potential to fundamentally affect the way that organizations, companies and perhaps even governments conduct their foreign policy. Colby File Bremmer suggests that China is trying to beat the J-Curve by allowing for more economic openness while maintaining political authoritarianism. Carnegie Council Ian Bremmer on Iran, China and The J Curve, Posted by John McIntyre Bremmer's great success in this book is to make a powerful tool for understanding such risks accessible to nonexperts. "The J Curve" will doubtless influence mainstream debates for years to come. The Providence Journal American foreign policy and its outcomes are on the scaffold of world and domestic opinion. Bremmer urges J Curve thinking as a way to make these policies wiser and more effective. La Nacion One of the world's great authorities on political risk and one of the most sought after opinions in Washington and on Wall Street Read the full review (in Spanish) Expresso (PDF) Investir com o apoio da Curva J Read the full article (in Portugese)
Kyodo World Service Economic sanctions are counterproductive foreign policy tools for inducing political change because they only insulate target countries from outside influence and boost their leaders' surveillance power, says political risk analyst Ian Bremmer. Cincom Small Talk ...A lot like Barnett's "The Pentagon's New Map" but with a different metaphor. early-adopter.blogspot.com |
