Eurasia Group is a political risk consultancy founded in 1998 by Ian Bremmer. [2] [3]
Eurasia Group reports on emerging markets including frontier and developed economies, in addition to establishing practices focused on geo-technology and energy issues. The organization's 2011 "Top Risks report" description of a G-Zero world lacking global leadership received attention at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos in 2011, [4] as well as in international media. [5] [6] [7] American politics led the firm’s 2020 report, [8] which was updated and re-released in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. [9]
In 2017, Eurasia Group launched a media company called GZERO Media, [10] featuring digital programming as well as a US national public television show called GZERO World with Ian Bremmer. [11]
On January 3, 2023, at Bloomberg, Ian Bremmer discussed the TOP-10 risks for the world to face in 2023 according to Eurasia Group. [12] The top ten risks of 2024, as outlined by Ian Bremmer and Cliff Kupchan in their 37-page report, and published in an 8 January article in Time , are as follows: the United States grappling with internal challenges; Middle East teetering on the edge; Ukraine facing partition; challenges posed by ungoverned artificial intelligence; the presence of an Axis of rogue nations; absence of a recovery in China; the struggle for critical minerals; minimal margin for error; return of El Niño; and engaging in risky business. Additionally, three potential Red Herrings for 2024 were identified: a crisis between the United States and China; populist takeover of European politics; and tensions between BRICS and G7. [13] [14]
In 2005, Eurasia Group purchased Intellibridge, a political risk consultancy founded by David Rothkopf in 1999. [15] In 2007, Citi Private Bank announced it was partnering with Eurasia Group and their global clients would have "exclusive access to Eurasia Group's unique political risk analysis." [16] Announcing a partnership with NYSE Euronext, Eurasia Group rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on March 18, 2009. [17] In 2011, Bank of America entered into a partnership with Eurasia Group which allowed BofA's 20,000 Merrill Lynch and US Trust advisors access to Eurasia's global research. [18] Eurasia Group announced a partnership with Nikko Asset Management in 2015 to incorporate political risk analysis into emerging market investment funds. According to The Wall Street Journal , "this is the first such partnership between the consultancy and an asset manager". [19] In 2017, KPMG International partnered with Eurasia Group. [20] BMO partnered with Eurasia Group in 2023. [21]
Many of Eurasia Group's leaders and advisors are former international politicians including Catherine Ashton, John Baird, Sigmar Gabriel, Marietje Schaake, and Gerald Butts.
