Excellent Mainstream View

Ian Bremmer's Every Nation for Itself: Winners and Losers in a G-Zero World is an eminently readable, current, mainstream take on the geopolitical environment. It's a step above Friedman and Zakaria, because he's writing for an informed audience.
Every Nation is a 20,000 ft view of what happens to world as the massive debt bubble pops. Chapter One is a fantastic discussion of why nothing is going to get done re: climate change, oil, terror. Simply: when 'they' launched globalization, they forgot about control systems. It's a chapter that should be taught in all schools.
The rest reads like someone narrating a game of pool just after the break: China's going one direction, the 8-ball another, and in the corner, Turkey's slamming into Greece. The ricochets of globalization. And as far as what that means to nation-states and Fortune 500 companies, this is a good read. These are, after all, Bremmer's bread and butter clients.
But he doesn't do the drivers, the forces justice. Things like peak oil and systems disruption and deviant globalization. Even when he tries to include cybersecurity, it reads like one of his marketing aides told him to add a buzzword. It's un-nuanced at best (he only covers it as a tool of states and kingmakers). So it's not for anyone concerned with unpredictable events or disruptive innovation.
All in all, the book is a good way to stay on top of what's probably best of breed mainstream thinking - which, appropriately, is all it claims to be.

Insight political read!

I'm no expert in global politics, but I've always had an enthusiasm for the subject. To anyone with a genuine curiosity for international relations- and for how politics and economics intersect globally- Every Nation For Itself is a very good read: I ended up reading it in one night and one afternoon. It touches on such a broad range of subjects. Bremmer summarizes how the world order of today spawned from WWII. He outlines all of the biggest global challenges and supplies some unconventional insights--discussion of how the Arctic is primed to become a battleground for resources in the coming decades was an interesting angle I hadn't encountered before. He must mention over 100 countries, naming dozens of winners and losers in the "G-Zero" world that he very convincingly portrays as our reality today. If you have more than a passing interest in world affairs, international relations, or geopolitics--or general current events globally-- definitely worth the time and money. A quick read too.

Best Non-Fiction Read in Quite Some Time

After reading Ian Bremmer's last book, `The End of the Free Market: Who Wins the War Between States and Corporations?' (May 2010), I knew he had a knack for taking complex global phenomena and making them relevant, fascinating, and much easier to understand. Every Nation for Itself was that and more. Bremmer takes on the challenge of defining the current world order by boiling down a whole spectrum of currents events--everything from Europe's sovereign debt crisis, squabbles between developed and developing countries on climate change, the Arab Spring, conflict in the Asia Pacific, America's overgrown debt and unemployment figures, oil price shocks... the list goes on. In the G-Zero in which we live today- a world where America and its allies will no longer lead, but other countries like China are unwilling to pick up the slack-- things are far more uncertain. The economic outlook is more bleak. But what I loved is that this environment is still packed with opportunities, many of which are counter-intuitive, and Bremmer goes through with specific examples of companies and countries that are primed for success (or failure!). Chapter 4 read like a cheat sheet for success in more volatile, leaderless times. Bremmer makes these insightful predictions on who will win, who will lose, and then on what comes next. The whole book was very digestible and a quick read--and it felt like a crash course in global affairs, leaving me with a better understanding and more informed opinion on current events, foreign policy, and the world's shifting balance of power. I highly recommend Every Nation for Itself: my best non-fiction read in quite some time.
